NASA Discovers Saturn's Moon Is Secretly Pac-Man

Am I the only 1 wondering how that giant plateau in the center of that MASSIVE crater was formed??? Shouldn't the center be the lowest point and NOT a giant mountain?

I always wondered where American literature and science would be today if they learned to spell properly (i.e colour) and stopped using dead units of measurement.
; )

I think we keep our old English units out of pride, and because most people see the metric system as "that lame system". I learned it in high school physics, & it is much easier than our system, but I still didn't want to convert to it out of pride. It's ours. That's why we keep it. As far as spelling goes, we only drop the unnecessary letters.
Britains pronounce "schedule" as "shedule" but they don't pronounce "school" as "shool" so get off your dang soap box.

So you'll keep the British Imperial System but not the spelling ? =P

I don't know that many English people either but all the ones I know pronounce schedule correctly.

Personally, I wouldn't mind switching to the metric system for volumes & weights. Calculating the best deal at the grocery store would be much easier, but I kind of like miles. I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who constantly use pounds & ounces, are used to it, and wouldn't like to switch to anything though. Unless it involves the microchip, we hate change.

As far as spelling, I'm in America. Our language is a mish-mash of all the European languages and rules of pronunciation, so I really have no idea how you judge the "correct" way of saying something other than how I was raised. No one rule applies for everything, and there are several different ways to achieve the same sound here.

Oh, cool. Mimas is Pac-Man.
Wait....
OH SHIT! Mimas is Pac-Man! We're fucked!

That's incredibly awesome, Space stole Pac-man from us! Or idea isn't original anymore! NOOOOOO

But, Mimas was first, and then we made Pac-Man...
So, are we plagiarizers?

The chances...
*Sunglasses*
...are astronomical.

YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!
[small]Please don't hurt me..[/small]

Anyway, that is freakin' awesome! I hope we find more of these.

This just in: Mimas is now named Pac-Moon.

We must petition NASA to rename Mimas as this ^

I never knew Pac-Man was an official scientific term.

It is now...

Guys, I think WE'RE the power pellet!

Oh SHI-

Your avatar goes surprisingly well with this.

"OH SHI-"
*So much truth, it melts the face*

You gotta love Science.

Top-right: "Yippie kay-ey! You'll never guess where I've been!"
I really enjoy the bottom-right picture. Me being the Jurassic Park nerd.

pretty soon were going to have to rename it Meme-as

I see what you did thar.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post. I assumed someone else posted after my first post...

It looks like the Death Star and its temperature give it the appearance of Pac Man.
