mullah talon mulligatawny
greenleaf and twitterfall
thunderduck money
Cuyahoga burning
hot vampires in love
Neda laden
with hist'ry expired

one trusts that the number of hits
counts for something
as a car carrier clanks
empty
but en route
good (good) good migrations
where is this place where
no one comes to our aid?

theft of a play station
among the trusted youth
Iuj el vi estos
malamikoj
de la aliaj

A band so audible
that the prince balks

Por cxiu popolo estas difinita
limtempo

time for the chilly glow
Nia puno venis sur ilin
Like a pilgrim,
Like a thing

nokte, aw kiam ili
dormis tagmeze

gerkamenknocken
like cephalopods



Metafilter comes to my rescue. (Though it also gave me this.)


According to my (alas, unattributed--but most likely some recent issue of Astrophysical Journal--) notes, the radius of a terrestrial-type planet is the mass, raised to the power of X, where X is around 0.26-0.27 (e.g.). --For Gliese 581 d, at a mass of 7.7 times Earth's, that gives a radius of about 1.72 ⊕ and a surface gravity of 2.61±.05 ⊕. I figure four legs rather than two (centaurs?)--or even five.
