Hole Found
A hole has been found, on Mars. It is thought to be quite deep. The boffins are very excited because it is believed, that the hole, is very similar to many holes found on Earth, in that it is in the ground, and it is not full of dirt. Instead, it is empty, and it goes into the ground, in the familiar manner. This suggests that even the very farthest planets are remarkably like Earth, in certain ways. I had a hole in my garden once, just like that one. It is startling to think, isn't it, that such a homely topographical feature is in fact so exotic?
One feels one's mind expanding!
I only hope that the Americans, who have discovered this wonderful hole, will not shoot it, or fill it with hamburgers, but will instead treat it with sensitivity and compassion.

ACCOLADE EXTENDED
Good news! The white smoke has at last risen from the International Astronomical Union. We now know whether Pluto is, or is not, a planet:
...Pluto's right to be called a planet... will be resolved by extending the accolade to three more celestial bodies...
And a wise decision it is, too, for the IAU to show its appreciation in this way. A refusal to do so could lead only to the frustrated rage of the disposessed, with predictable consequences.
It is all very exciting. Yesterday we thought there were only nine planets, but now we have learned that there are twelve! This surprising new information will surely have a considerable impact on our understanding of the solar system.
