I hope they don't accidentally fly the Cassini probe into it, then we'll have to put up with conspiracy theories for the next 30 years.

Heh. Not quite an "Oil Hitting The Anus," but very well done everybody.

Personally I think Cassinni should keep an eye out for Lando Calrissian.

The Great Emancipator was actually the Great Rapinator

And I'm glad to see some Sundiver & 2001 references in here, BTW :D

"This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides,"

So.... is it a precise geometric feature or are all the sides nearly equally straight? Cause it can't be both! LOL!

Why? I doubt it'd be precisely geometric if the farkin' sides curved...

We are all missing the point here! The submitter was wrong! It was a SPACE.com staff writer, not a Yahoo science writer. Or was it a joke, saying that the writer was obviously a YAHOO?!?!?!?!?!
