I bet He likes planets, too.

vity-Rounded and revolving. Asteroid? No, that's a fragment of
something bigger. Planets have 100% crust, which can be an atmosphere to

Of course, another effect of this situation is that
the Theory Machines all get their throttles cranked up
to "Hyper Overdrive" and a lot of Theory Juice gets

precipitating towards the center - the lighter
