Asteroid Names

[Yuki-Onna Reed]

Well, around the time of Douglas's death, they named an asteroid 18610 Arthurdent.

But here's something new...

Yes! That's right! Asteroid 25924 Douglasadams! (note that the ultimate asteroid website doesn't have the name yet...) I mean, we always knew you were a heavenly object, Doug, but this is ridiculous. wink Damn freaky about the temporary designation though... eek (no, you're gonna have to read the article yourself....or click the link for the asteroid itself and I'm sure you'll be able to see what I mean on your own)

...so where's Fordprefect? crying

{edited - the ultimate asteroid website got the name, thus changing the URL. On the assumption that the article is also no longer good, I state now the temporary designation: 2001DA42.}

Oh wow, that is really nifty! mrgreen

And the temporary designation code...it works out so well, I wonder what the Improbability Factor of that was...

If its anything like the improbability of my showing up at my friends' job (he works third shift) the same night another friend of ours shows up (completely unrelated trip) and all of the morning regulars are eithe really late or really early....then its about 166551 to 1 against. At least that's what we figured (yes, there was reasoning behind that number)

whats does that all mean?! S=

Somehow, I think that's the point.

"We apologize for the inconvience", and all that. blaugh

*<3s you now*

That's great. Though there should be a Randomfrequentflyerdent asteroid.

Yes, I can imagine the lisping astrologer seeing it pass by. "It's Slarb-I mean Slartifar-I mean Bartislar-I mean...oh, it's gone. Damn."

Improbability Factor of that probobly was around 2073044100 to 1 because that is the phone number of Douglas' agent amd lives are goverened by phone numbers.

How the hell do you know his agent's number?

I felt bad for Arthur, but I didn't like fenchurch that much.
