Can I put in a request to switch Venus and Mars? Mars is shifty. Is that the kind of space planning? Do we need to apply for a planet rearrangement permit?

While we are at it, can you plan to have Pluto redesignated as a planet? I spoke to Pluto and he's sad that he's not a planet anymore. Pls to be fixing kthxbye.

Only the first one, and after hearing about it for years it didn't make much of an impression on me. Apart from 42, of course.

I'm open to correction here, but I think it was in one of the Dirk Gently books where Adams suggested that the Dark Matter in the Universe is packaging material. :)

Likely so, but not likely to provoke rampant nonsense if true.:thumbdown:

I like "bored desk monkey".

I once seriously suggested "Fixit Wallah" when asked what title I'd like on my business card. Unsurprisingly, this wasn't retained.

Mine is simple. It's just "Director". I have another, way more complicated, one but I don't use it.

My missus has a ludicrous job title. It's just a string of acronyms in both English and French (she works for the Feds). I have no idea what it means. I don't even really understand what her job is!
