I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

Hand solo sounds like a very descriptive euphemism for masturbation

On normal internet forums, threads devolve from content into trolling. On Bay12, it's the other way around.

If a Jupiter-sized (Or larger) planet got flung into space, its moons could conceivably have life similar to what we might hope to find on Europa---supported by volcanic vents on the ocean floor, which are themselves created by the tidal forces of the large planet's gravity flexing the moon.
With large enough moons and a deep enough atmosphere you'd have a few million years possibly before the KH heating died out.

As for KIC 8675309 (I GOT IT!) that's fascinating, I look forward to the enhanced attention it will get this time.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence and not Pathos' Space Empire refiling their Annihilator Fleet.

I dunno, maybe it could be a dense asteroid cluster or gas clouds that are passing by or somewhat rapidly and erraticly orbiting the star.

Well, not eveything is fun and games and unfathomable cosmic horrors coming to drink the life of or sun and the souls of our bodies.

I still get a little choked up hearing them crackle and pop away into the sky, I was heartbroken watching the last shuttle launch a few years back.

Probably the best method would be using earth to give gravity assists to millions of asteroids, slowly changing earth's orbit. Especially since you can give a gravity assist multiple times.
You naive fool, all we need is Archimedes with a really long hammer...

"Archimedes Really Long Hammer" sounds like an excellent name for a big asteroid.
