That's why a student in high school in 1970 can get a good grade for drawing a solar system with nine planets; and a student in 2020 can get a good grade for drawing a solar system with eight.

A student in 2020 would get a better grade for drawing a solar system with eight planets plus an asteroid belt (including the dwarf planet Ceres), the Kuiper belt (including Pluto, Eris and other dwarf planets), and the Oort cloud.

I was 10 when I got that book on tape. Galileo was not 10 when he was arrested. Haha... good one

Thou shalt not drift o.t.

Thou shall drift.


Verb: The act or activity of steering an automobile so that it makes a controlled skid sideways through a turn with the front wheels pointed in a direction opposite to that of the turn. (Dictionary link)

Drifting began in the early 1980s with a Japanese race-car driver named Keiichi Tsuchiya. Mr. Tsuchiya, who was in his 20s, started experimenting with drifting and practiced it on curvy roads deep in the mountains near his hometown. He says he was perfecting his ability to not spin out on curves in car races.

Thank you for defending me, brother. It is good that we both agree on using more modern tone, and not always use the KJV style of English.
