Favorite planet?

[hibernal_dream]

I'll leave Earth out on this one

Pluto...it's so small and cute. *tickles Pluto*

Hmmm, I just woke up so forgive me.

 

[Demonspell]

What if the planets were named after the god's Greek names instead of their Roman ones?

 

[BillowOfZeal]

Fuck all those.....EARTH

i voted for mars...it has the best piece for Holst's planets suite...

as for the greek names, i can't remember what saturn and mercury would be, and i think uranus is the same in greek...but i prefere the roman names...most of them are shorter, and just sound more planety

 

[BillowOfZeal]

"more planety"... ....good one

 

[Lakestream]

Neptune is coolest

btw, some changes from Roman to Greek

Neptune - Triton
Mars - Ares
Uranus - Chronos (I might be wrong here)

I've always liked Venus, it's the forgotten planet, but I like it.

I think Uranus is Chronos' father (by Geia(sp?)) and Chronos is Zeus' father...Chronos killed his father so as to become king, and then worried that the same might happen killed all of his children by eating them...Zeus' mother killed Chronos, something to do with feeding him rocks so he vomited up his children before he died (?), and then Zeus became king...its all a bit of acomplicated soap opera really...

I was doing a bunch of reading on all the planets this summer, and Neptune was by far the coolest! Too bad I never retained any of the knowledge other than that fact though.....

I voted for Pluto. What other planet has a Disney creature named after it?
