Just another day at the office
I guess that settled that argument... or not! Ha ha. [matric = South African High School Diploma]Guy 1: Hey, have you heard that we now only have eight planets in our solar system. Guy 2: Yeah, that is because The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has recently revised the definition of what constitutes a ‘true’ planet. So although Pluto still technically remains in the planet category, it is now called a dwarf planet. Guy 1: I wonder if we are expected to know the names of the new dwarf planets? Guy 2: Why do you ask? Are you planning on going back to school and rewriting your *matric exam?
Moonflake. How about this.. My Very Enterprising Chinese Maid makes Jambalaya Soup from Unripened Naartjie Pips and Contraband Xenon gas.
I actually did a short course in Astronomy in my 2nd year at varsity ( and I was a Commerce major!).
I wonder if my degree is still valid... he he?

I studied at UCT. The course I did was an introuctory course at first year level.
I enjoyed the pracs most, especially the observation evenings. Also there was a girl in my class I really liked... which made it all the more special.

Yep, Farrell was my lecturer. What I remember most about him is his sense of humour.
Is he still around?
