WTF happens when a planet ovulates? Are we going to go into heat (OMG - global warming), and attract nearby, male planets? I just hope that Mars fertilizes with a cloud, instead of penetration.

It's considered poor form not to link to the post of the blog you found the story on, even if that blog is linking to another blog linking to the actual story. For unpopular but virally durable stories, the daisy chain may get so long that getting to the original article takes more time than reading it.
