   And I just finished reading the Watchers trilogy last week - read the first five books as they came out, but never noticed the three watchers books until recently.

   Why does the NASA page keep calling it a "Bizarre Six-Sided Hexagon?" Now if it was a five-sided hexagon, that would be bizarre.

   I love this bit: Explaining the oddity will undoubtedly unearth new laws of physics found only on Saturn..

     That line made me shudder. I'm guessing it's a misquote, and what the professor actually said, "Explaining the oddity will undoubtedly unearth new laws of physics examples of which are found only on Saturn."

   So, what's the gate code?
