Try multiplying it by two and a half.
There's this one guy, for metaphor sake, lets call him the Sun. And then there's Mercury, always in orbit just a little too close for comfort and a little bit... Hot headed with jealousy, let's say. Lets skip the next 3 and head straight to Jupiter. Oh, Jupiter. Stolen such a large part of the Sun's gravitational pull, but is Jupiter pulling back? That's the real question. (Probably, but Mr. Sun would never assume such things.) Skip a couple more and we get to Pluto.... Too far to get too much warmth from the sun, but an orbit so skiwampus (just go with it, ok? There's no way I could figure that word out today) that it happens periodically enough to keep sweet little Pluto around. And last but not least, the Comet. Definitely no one saw that one coming. And that Comet came out of NOWHERE. Surprised 'em all for a moment, I'll tell ya what. But don't worry, that pesky Comet will be out of everyone's orbit in no time, just wait a week and a half.
Oh how fun it is, that good ol' solar system.
"Um, no one. Wah-wah."

Yay for solar systems!
ReplyDeleteYay for Kathy explaining Jupiter and Pluto to Redhead at a later date!
Keep posting, please.
Potentially the most bizarre love metaphor I've ever heard but it works. Creativity points: awarded. Mazeltov.
ReplyDeleteMe and my roommate are curious as to whether the planets are men that you are attracted to or women that you are competing with for the sun's "warmth."
ReplyDeleteThe second one. Except that I'm not in the competition. But hey, I'm glad the ambiguity of this post is keeping everyone guessing!
