the_monkey_king seeks an artist with steampunk chops for illustrations for Kobold Quarterly. Any suggestions for him?

jaylake put me onto the question pondered by astronomers: How will we name all those exoplanets? My ideas: Base the names on planets named in science fiction novels, Star Trek, and classic science fiction films.

[info]twilight2000 alerts us to the fact that Franken's anti-rape amendment may be stripped by senior dem. Oy.

Could someone please explain to me why, when the Republicans get into power, they work like hell to mollify the Republican base, but when the Democrats get into power, they work like hell to mollify the Republican base??

Anybody??

If they name planets the way that biochemists name proteins and genes, they'll be whimsical: Like GunfA (gene of unknown function A).

I imagine names like BBP (Big, blue planet): pronounced 'Bebop.'

Or Frk (first known in brand new solar system: pronounced 'Frank Burns.'

Frk = frak, from what I can see. :-)

I say we wait and see what the local inhabitants call their planet and then go with that...

Well, that's one option. Of course, who wouldn't want to visit Raxicoricophalipatorious, I ask you?

Raxicoricophalipatorious?
Something about it is really notorious!

Well, I would suggest Cheyenne Wright. He's an excellent artist with impeccable steampunk chops.

He's busy, but might be tempted. Dunno.
