In an exciting astronomy story today, scientists have discovered (how they do this is beyond me) another planet orbiting a red giant star about 20 light years away. For those not so versed in space/time/distance, light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Now imagine how far light travels in just a single year going that fast. Now multiply that times 20 and that's how far away that planet is. If we sent a spacecraft to that planet traveling at the speed of light it would take them 20 years to get there. Yep, the pizza would definitely be cold by then.
What I found fascinating is that when interviewed, developers living on this freshly discovered planet prefer coding in VB 2005 to C# by a margin of nearly 4 to 1. :-)
