Wait, there are happy Illinoisans?
This is what it's like to be a dwarf planet in our solar system.
While I'm sure that one giant hunk of frozen matter is thrilled that a few people are arguing about what it should be verbally represented as in the third most-spoken language on another hunk of matter, can all the space-studying people PLEASE shift their focus to making Mars a hospitable environment so that we can move there when the robots take over the world (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/26/science/26robot.html?em)??? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Too late! (The robots got there first.)
Crap. Venus's humidity will make my hair frizz.
We're also pretty peeved that Shrek got Goofy's parking space.
Goofy had a parking space in Illinois?
Illinois simply cannot abide the loss in tourist income that would come with the top spot in the "Worst Places to Live on a Planet in the Solar System" list. Current number one worst place is Tombaugh's Ridge near the "south" pole of Pluto.
