The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kat, How does April Cornell clothing run, size wise?

Also, you are evil.

Have a good first day!

Isn't that system more of a "Nightfall" system, with three suns (Tatooine had two, I believe)? Love that story, btw--I think I'll have to find a copy of it this weekend so I can read it again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Nightfall" was 6 suns, wasn't it? The expanded version was also good [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Pitch Black had 3 suns. But hopefully this isn't that planet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tatooine had two, I believe

Yes.

The Pitch Black planet had only two suns and an ecosystem that made no sense. I haven't been following "Lost", I wonder if developments have confirmed my suspicion that "Lost" is just "Pitch Black" with Polar Bears.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I can see how so many people liked it and thought it was Asimov's best, but I never bought the premise of the story.

Yeah. It's light out 24/7 (except for a brief period every 20 years) but the planet is inhabited by creatures who can't stand light?

Huh, I was sure I remembered three.

This new planet may not conform to any readily available sci-fi nicknames, alas.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Those creatures were like bats, I thought. They were underground, right?

I am hungover and out of it.

eta: I think the phenomenon of multiple stars is named after Tatooine, not necessarily that planet.
