Fubar512 1,350 Posted August 25, 2016 Astronomers have announced that they have discovered an earth-sized planet orbiting the sun's nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri (which in turn is itself a "third" member of the Alpha Centauri binary star system).

ShrikeHawk 384 Posted August 28, 2016 We call them terrorist and we exterminate them (operation proximab freedom) Maybe we feel bad about doing it a century later, and try to make them feel better by putting their likeness on a coin and name a sports team after them.

ironroad 218 Posted September 3, 2016 I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I hope they know that some of us can be useful for rounding up others, to toil in their sugar caves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
