      See that’s why we should have turned left at Orion !

    33. Hurrah ! We will get the Nobel Prize for sure. We have found a BLACK HOLE. No, it’s a WORM HOLE. Oh, no. It’s a… a… a…HOLE in the paper. Then we are really in a deep ” S_ _ T ” HOLE!!!

      P.S. The moderator will surely edit the letters in inverted commas.

      “Then what’s happened to the missiles?”

      “Well, er, according to this screen they’ve just turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised-looking whale.”

    39. No finger pointing, please. If we did not find anything useful let’s face the music as real astronomers do – look to heaven for inspiration !

    40. If we do not succeed in finding the cosmic dust we are looking for we can surely apply our expertise to chimney sweeping with guaranteed success.
