Kepler-22b's radius is 2.4 times that of Earth, and the two planets have roughly similar temperatures. If the greenhouse effect operates there similarly to how it does on Earth, the average surface temperature on Kepler-22b would be 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius).

So how soon will you be moving there?

Sounds like an agreeable temperature, but is that the summer or the winter?

I'm a little confused about the term "alien planet" by the way. Seems to me like every planet besides earth is alien so it's pretty much a pleonasm. Unless they mean to say there's actually aliens living on it.

Depends if there are any jobs there.

I think they mean a planet outside our neighborhood (outside our solar system).

Shh! Don't give him directions. He's not invited to the party.

O how I would want to be part of your intergalactic Sodom and Gomorra bash.

OMG, green for that word! I have a pretty extensive spoken vocabulary, but I have NEVER heard that word seen it used or written anywhere I love that word! I love the meaning too...it will send many a smug debater searching for its meaning.

He probably chanced across the word on his way to look up "orgasm".

Yep. You use that word so often that I thought it would be worth finally looking it up.
I still don't quite understand what it means though.

 

[Graybrew1]

I think it means the whole thing is nonsense?

 

[SciphonicStranger]

I thought it meant "I'm done - here's some cab fare".

Wait, which word were we talking about?

 

[Stonelesscutter]

That's only when combined with the word "fake".

I was referring to Pleonasm.

Duh, I just got that. Holy Smokes. I am dense at times.

 

[SciphonicStranger]

I really hope no one here is faking their pleonasms.

Well if you can't tell then I guess it's working.

I can never seem to tell when someone is faking that other word either...

Yes it's hard. Shaved is a master of fauxgasms. He mimics the color, the viscosity and the consistency in great detail. Unfortunately the only way to truly tell if it's real or not is by taste. I'm afraid you're just gonna have to take it like a man.

Do we want to know how you figured that one out?
