I see that, in honor of the 70th anniversary of the birth of Freddie Mercury, they're going to name an asteroid after him. What's the big deal? He already had a planet named for him!

Sounds to me like it's being promoted by the same people who were responsible for Pluto's downgrading.

I was no real fan either. There's no doubt watching some of his work though he was a brilliant musician.

There is no doubt.

A new species of blood fluke was found infecting the lungs of turtles in Malaysia. This parasitic flatworm has been dubbed Baracktrema obamai, in honor of the President of the United States (who is the fifth cousin twice removed of one of the discovering scientists).
