What if Europa is just a huge chunk of ice? Like an ice cube, but round, and in outer space.
We've already estabilished that Europa contains water under it's ice layer. Mostly because the ice, while being bloody thick, isn't unbreakable. It cracks and moves, hinting that something underneath is moving it.

LOT'S of dwarves.

It'd also start boiling away because something that small isn't exactly good at holding on to an atmosphere.

Saturn's moon Titan would like to have some words with you

Titan also has some kind of crazy geological or volcanic processes going on which contributes to its atmosphere, driven by tidal flexing - Jupiter is a bitch.

The latter. Never read Orwell.
Do it, then. It makes for great quoting material :P

I'm pretty sure Europe has life on it.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I'm fairly sure Europe is inhabited too. I know some people from there.

Friend of mine is a professor at a small liberal-arts college. She'll occasionally share examples of really, really bad writing by her undergrad students.

Best recent one: "Meat is the most popular meat in the US."  ???

"Meat is the most popular meat in the US."
Seems reasonable. Can you come up with a meat more loved?

I don't know about loved, but when you count all the mystery meat served in cafeterias around the country that statement might be correct...

I saw a shop named "Popular Meat" recently.

... I don't know, you guys. At least it wasn't what they were advertising, as I thought at first. "Come buy from us, we have popular meat!"

A mutual friend rightly pointed out that as a superset, "meat" as a category would necessarily include all specific meats and thus outrank any single meat.

She (my professor friend) was not amused.

It's okay, no doubt that Wolf killed quite a few bars too. Not sure about polar bars, though.
