They've downsized the milky-way!

PLUTO is no longer a planet based on the new rules and regulations setup by a group of humans who call themselves scientists and astronomers. Pluto has been demoted to dwarf planets. Pluto, as Mike Brown, a planetary scientiss (duhh), said, is dead. DEAD.

Read all about it here... Pluto not a Planet.

Hmm... when I was in school, one of the characteristics of a planet was that it has to have a satellite, or moon as we know it, orbiting around it. And Pluto has one. It is called Charon.

So, one less planet for the school kids to remember.

Sleeping Dictionary

This is a 2003 DVD movie. Apparently it won four awards in its heyday. It's set in Sarawak. A story of a young colonial officer who came to work in the midst of Sarawak jungle with the Ibans. He was given a local woman to be his "sleeping dictionary". Her tasks were to teach him the language and the habits of the tribe. They fell in love. Forbidden by the tribe and by the office.

I watched this movie last night. What I want to know is, did the practice of giving a local woman to a colonial officer really happened those days?

Jessica Alba. That's the reason why I wanted to watch it.
