Revenge for Pluto - call it Wolftopia

Orbits around twin sun's? That shit is Tattoine!

Title fix: Because of many scientists, engineers and technicians, a 17 year old was lucky enough to find a planet in the collected data.

Can't wait till NDG inevitably tweets about how it's not actually a planet for some BS reason.

I'd remember it too if I was able to glue to bits of wood at some point of my life ?
artistandascholar2000
I remember the first time I superglued some aircraft model parts to myself, heady days.
grumpynurse
Ok in supergluing things to my fingers I'm a pro, too
DaveRyder
Did it today. Went to put a dab on a plastic toy. Instead a huge blast of CA glue went everywhere and glued it to my fingers.
