If, as Space.com posits, the Earth had two suns, isn’t there a risk that Spartacus would fly his Piper Cub too close to them, Obama’s wings would melt, Al Gore would become president, and Princess Diana would rejoice during her interview with Tina Brown?
(Sorry, just trying to create the Grand Unified Theory of media what-ifs.)












The Vikings would return to Greenland and plant date palms.
With Tarkenton or Injun Joe Kapp as QB?
Wouldn’t matter who was QB because no matter which way the recievers looked, a sun would be in their eyes.
With two suns, it’d be kinda rough on vampires. Then again, with two suns, Solyndra might actually have been viable, so at least they’d have solar-powered coffins.
And you pussies on earth are whining about .8 degrees in 100+ years? gimme a break.
I wonder if such a system would help primitive aliens notice that their world isn’t flat.
It’s a timely story for Nibiru watchers anyway.
Waitaminute. Astronomers found Tatooine? And it’s relatively close to Earth? That’s next door to “If there’s a bright center to the universe, you’re on the planet that it’s farthest from.”
Dear Ed,
That was Icarus who flew too close to the sun. Spartacus led a slave revolt against Rome sometime around 70 BC.
Otherwise, love your site. You’re both interesting AND prolific which keeps me visiting several times a day.
