Insomniac Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I know you're joking, but it's not far off what my wife actually said... In a desperate (and last) attempt to get her interested in astronomy I aimed the telescope at the Andromeda Galaxy and asked her if she wanted to come outside and have a look. She looked at me and said "I like eating Galaxys... Not looking at them!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imarcs Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Reminds me of PSP when Paul cannon was offering to show people his meteorite collection and told everyone he also had a piece of Mars with him.

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I thought that word was in the swearword filter...It's the plural that probably made it slip past. It may not have been added because of the low incidence of calling each other nasty things in SGL.You've got to love this place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
