...I was a voracious consumer of news, up to even trying to read legislation (not with much success as I have no legal training).
That's okay. After all, legislators don't read it either.

Indeed -- led by the Pontifex Maximus and everything.
Clearly, good fortune is relative!
My personal site used to come up as the top hit for a Google search for "Steve Foerster" (with quotes). Now it's not there at all, because someone sent Google a DMCA takedown notice. Evidently the WordPress theme I used had an image in it that its designed had cribbed from someone's photobucket account, or something like that. I changed the theme, and one of these days will get around to sending Google a challenge notice. But what a mess -- if the copyright holder had simply told me, which would have taken no more effort and probably less, I'd have changed the theme.
I'll bet you're a Vagan, too.
Mmm... nope, none of the jokes I have for this are publishable.
In Dominica, the default is on the left, but the reality is that you drive on whichever side is less poorly paved.
That's not a slight, though -- when you get as much rain as Dominica does, it's very, very difficult to keep roads in good repair.
It can in theory, if the moonlet is within the Hill sphere of a moon. But I don't believe there are any known instances of this in the Solar system.
Hades isn't the same place as Hell.
Hey, hold on there, this is a pretty exclusive place.
Speaking of 80's rock, even worse would be a moon named 'Europe'. Oh wait...!
You definitely want to attempt no landing there!
These terrible jokes! I've gotten weary and I've had enough!
So, you're saying that both Safari and Slashdot need these special new contact lenses?
The joke is that when most people say "diploma mill" what they mean is "Any school less prestigious, however slightly, than the one I attended." But the term means something specific: fake schools that offer no instruction and just sell unrecognized credentials for cash. Many for profit schools may be expensive and unremarkable, but that doesn't mean they're diploma mills.
Maybe not -- at this rate it will probably take us until 2061 to get out of LEO again anyway.
They have been testing a lightweight system to protect astronauts and spacecraft components from harmful radiation and working with colleagues in America to design a concept spaceship called Discovery that could take astronauts to the Moon or Mars.
Shouldn't a ship called Discovery take them to Europa? (Or Iapetus?)
