My Very Enormous Monster Just Sucked Up Nine Planets – was an easy,stupid line to remember those nine planets out there . But we never needed this line ,it came so easy to us mercury,venus ,us,mars…..pluto . So simple . It gave us a feeling that we knew something about that Cosmos out there , it was reassuring . Each of us would have experienced that unique , romantic feeling of gazing at a starry winter night sky and crying out loud “Mercury venus us mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune Pluto”. Oh that sexy feeling !!
And now they want Pluto to go . Pluto will no longer be a planet . Can you believe that !! . Our Pluto ,our greek lord of the underworld will now be called a ‘trans-Neptunian object’ . An object ?…is that how you treat a planet . Have these astronomer hippocrats given a slight consideration to what those cute aliens in Pluto will be feeling now . They think Pluto is Lebanon whom anyone can attack any given day . I challenge them to do the same with super powers like Saturn or Jupiter , that would be chivalry , that would be guts !! Not this.
Who gave these astronomers the right to decide this ? Are they saying my geography teacher was dumb . She was sexy – but that doesnt completely prove she was dumb . These astronomers balk in the Prague sun and suddenly decides to chuck out Pluto . Tommorrow they’ll meet in Geneva and decide Friday is not a day – as fries are not good for health or something like that . Would we accept that too ? lying down ,like this .
Now they might say , Pluto is not as big as mercury , it is smaller than the new feminist cosmic-object Xena and its just an ice cold ‘brown-dwarf ‘ phenomenon . C’mon…. details man details !! lets not discuss that . Science cant be based on facts,that too boring ones . Problem is you guys look into telescopes and come up with something , when you should actually be looking into your hearts and deciding . Think about our alien brothers out there…oh yes ! they are our brothers, remember , it all started one cold night , some good music and a big bang.
In another decades time this could happen,
kid : ‘wtf are planets’
dad : ‘oh yeah ! there are nine planets…’
kid : ‘you are a moron’
dad : ‘mercury venus us mars ……Pluto’
kid : ‘mom,this dude is shouting at me’
mom : ‘moron , go walk the dog …leave kid alone’
We cannot afford to look ridiculous because we were educated.And thats exactly whats gonna happen.
And what about those rhyming lines ? – My Very Enormous Monster Just Sucked Up Nine – thats it ? sucked up nine WHAT ….lollipops ? I’m ok , but try convincing Godzilla . Losers.
Another planetary issue . (Non-mallus might take a detour here)
What is this issue with Chingam one and Vishu . Like , you know all mallus wish each other ‘Happy mallu new year ‘ in April during Vishu and again they wished each other ‘Happy mallu new year ‘ last week for Chingam one . I’m confused,literally . To complete an year in three months – where is Kerala located in – Mercury ?
This time I have replied to all those ‘Happy mallu new year ‘ mails and phone calls . Now again if you wish me ‘Happy mallu new year ‘ in April – I’m gonna strike down upon thee with venegance and then you’ll know…. my name is Lord !
geeeee. three more anglican names to remember?? thank god that i cleared my school long bak. poor kids ;))))
