“Your an idiot”

So, the other day I wrote an entry in my other blog, bearscare.org, about how I want to blow up the ex-planet Pluto with an ICBM. Now, while I would never tell anybody not to take my ideas in bearscare.org seriously, I did write about blowing Pluto. I guess Chaz Carlton (Charles_carlton123@yahoo.com), whose IP address is in NYC, did take my idea seriously and he doesn’t think much of it. Here’s a comment he left me:

Your a very stupid person.

The chances of hitting Pluto with an ICBM with current technology are equal to Pluto ever being on a collision course with earth. They would be something like 1,953,211,787,365,488 to 1. Calm down, and get a beer or something.

OK, Chaz, I understand you dislike my idea, but I’m not sure you’re the saltiest nut in the tin either. I am very surprised that the odds of a missile hitting Pluto, one quadrillion nine hundred fifty-three trillion two hundred-eleven billion three seven hundred eighty-seven million three hundred sixty-five thousand four hundred eigthy-eight to one is an integer. Please, could you describe your method for arriving at this number? Because, last I checked, we Americans are very good at sending spacecraft to other planets, such as the voyager probe. I really don’t see why we couldn’t send a missile to Pluto. I am waiting for your answer.
