Today, I was discussing the possibility of other life in the universe with my friend. She said the universe isn't big enough for it to be possible, and that we would know about it already, because "there are only 8 planets in the universe." FML
I agree, your life sucks 30 356
You deserved it 3 275

F HER Life if she thinks that! Let me guess, she's a 4 year freshman at UCLA, her favorite color is clear, and she wants to become a veterinarian because she loves children. SMH

In some informal circles, the term "universe" is used interchangeably with "solar system." I know it's incorrect, but we used to say "Russia" for "Soviet Union." Unless technology makes some leaps (which may happen), we will almost certainly never know about any life outside the solar system.

Why have a discussion like that with a stupid girl?

Sounds like you gotta ditch the dumb ass and make smarter friends.

YDI only because your friends are SLOW!!!!!

#85 yeah fully agree there, I could forgive ignorance like that if she had a really nice set on her ;)

Yes, because physical appearance holds the same value as intelligence. Are you ******* kidding me?

Unfortunately, in this society, physical appearance is more valued than intelligence.

"in this society" what are you talking about? That is how it has always been everywhere. not literally, of course. I'm sure there are exceptions. Still, it is only natural for humans to see an excellent mating partner as equal or superior to a human with a sharp mind.

#127 I'm not saying they're equal to each other I'm just saying I could ignore one if I had a good enough distraction

Theres PLENTY more planets in our solar system. Does anyone remember Ceres? They were declassifying planets WAAAY before pluto not to mention 2003UB (aka Xena) and god only knows how many KBOs(kuiper belt objects) there are out there that are big enough to be planets/dwarf planets/planetoids.(notes in parenthesis for people like OPs friend who don't know any better :D)

Hey dumb-ass's their are only 8 planets now. NASA reported how Pluto is no longer a planet because of it's size! Duh
