Despite having so many planets in hand, Marcy and other astronomers haven't found anything like our home solar system: most of the planets found elsewhere are not only huge, but they career around in orbits that would fling smaller, Earth-like planets out into space--a discouraging start to the search for life in the galaxy, though it's far too early to give...
MORE FAN ANIMOSITY We have no real equivalent of, say, Arsenal vs. Tottenham. We don't sing sectarian anthems and fling pub darts at each other. This is bad for ratings.

Such tactics are common in lighter weight classes, but Karelin--"King Kong" or "The Experiment" to fellow wrestlers--is the only super heavyweight with the strength to hoist a 290-lb. foe and fling him to the mat, in a maneuver the Russian calls a "reverse body lift." To execute it, Karelin locks his arms around the waist of an opponent, then lifts the wrestler like a sack of potatoes and, arching his back, heaves the hapless fellow, feet first, over his head...
