On names

I love that telescopes have these names: the "Very Large Telescope," the "Extremely Large Telescope" and the "Overwhelming Large Telescope." Out of all the fancy hard to pronounce scientific names that could have been chosen someone (or some committee)went with the above. It sort of illustrates how dumbfounded and speechless humankind is when faced with the vast immensity of the universe and whatever else is out there. I do appreciate how simple and direct the names are, and wish more things were named with such functionality in mind. Well done science!

Now I'm going to take a sip from my "Moderately Sized Plastic Water Bottle That Could Clog Up Landfills if Not Recycled" aka "smart water." pffft.
