Don't tell me they're giving names to satellites of asteroids! Yikes!!!
It's bad enough they must find names for the new (and ever more easily discovered) asteroids besides the 12,000 or so already baptized. And while I'm on the topic, I find it strange that with all the classical names apparently used up - so they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with handles like ASCII, GNU, and Albertacentenary - no-one has thought of Narcissus.
I want an asteroid named Narcissus so I can make my fortune writing the great drugstore astrology book: "Narcissus: Your Key to Self-Understanding".
