I have it on good authority that this was no accident. The military industrial complex working behind the scenes (as always) hatched this plot and now they plan to blame the whole thing on terrorists... or maybe the U.N. I swear it's TRUE, I read it on the webbynet!

  I knew it!
  As my good friend Cosmo Kramer once said: "Story like that has got to be true."
  Though the internets, which I visit say that they actually renamed Margaret to Edna or Hazel and that they still haven't told the International Star Registry. As a matter of fact, the same reliable source said after that they are planning to rename it to Herbert or maybe even Gaylord. These folks have no conscience; they must be stopped!

This clearly explains the global warming issue. Margaret is having hot-flashes.

Then what, we will claim another Ice-Age is coming, like the 70's? Just don't let Al know about this!

Hello boys laugh all you want about us and our mood swings, etc. You all go through similar phases too.
Like when going bald the hair part gets lower on one side. We do not like comb overs or a rug. Bald is sexy.

Well that's nice, naming the sun after a character in M*A*S*H* can we also call it "Hot" lips?

  Yes, there are plans to re-name the earth "Frank", the theory is, the new names will be easier to remember. I'm more in favor of the minority who want to rename the earth "zxlmwyxtpphpkyzzz" so when the aliens come they can pronounce it more easily.

Staring directly into Margaret. So that's why my eyesight is going on me.
