And I will shine the rings round Saturn or roll stones with Sisyphus

I appear to have named a satellite.

Mike Brown rocks, and so do the Etruscans.

And this was—to my great surprise—already a good day!

You rock! (Literally.)

It's a sign from heaven. May it be a turning in the road.

(And I want to see your Vanth in a telescope.)

That is ridiculously awesome.

Damn! Now that is bloody cool.

Congratulations! That's very awesome.

And I'm glad it was already a good day.

I can't think of **anyone** I'd rather have name satellites than you.

(And I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to look up psychopomp--every time you or [livejournal.com profile] cucumberseed use that word, I have to remind myself what it means.)

Nice! I'm glad he picked that one. Will see if we can send you a photo of it and Orcus - either one of the original ones, or from next time we observe it.

That's awesome! And I agree that you are fully qualified to name a satellite.

Congratulations! It is a perfect name.

Vanth! So cool. As are all psychopomps, generally...as Bill the Butcher would say, "that's a good woid."

Freeeow!

You were already cool. You are now so cryogenic you won't thaw until the sun goes red giant.

I believe you have just achieved immortality. Yay!

Good Lord, I'm glad he didn't end up going with the Roman name of Persephone, given that he SPELLED IT WRONG throughout the blog post. It's not Prosperina (female version of Prospero?). It's PROSERPINA.

Gosh. That is really remarkably awesome.

Eeeeeee!

Now, should the Earth ever start dying, you can hijack Vanth.
