"..Astronomers said Thursday that they had found the most Earth-like worlds yet known in the outer cosmos, a pair of planets that appear capable of supporting life and that orbit a star 1,200 light-years from here, in the northern constellation Lyra...."

Sure those isolated academic astronomers can invite us to plan our next vacation in the north of Lyra.
And getting there could be safer than taking a Carnival cruise vacation.

But what those esteemed astronomers don't tell us is whether Lyra would have take out pizza; cell phone service; satellite dishes; the ability to take in a Lady Gaga concert; CSpan cameras showing an empty US Senate chamber(which most believe is better than having Senators voting on the floor);cars, hopefully the driver-less kind that make parallel parks; or highway driving circles.
If Lyra has none of these, it's not worth going.

Rather than traveling to Lyra, young mothers to be would do better to enroll in a diaperless baby course...the new fad sweeping the country, or at least the wealthy upper Manhattan west side.
The appeal of this diaperless movement is that it would eliminate disposable diapers; diaper rash; and the laundering of cloth diapers.
I enjoyed the description of diaper-less baby mothers having their babies pee between two parked cars.
And I would imagine the mothers of diaper-less babies would have to carry baby scoopers when out in public.
Would restaurants allow this?
Would this be allowed on Lyra?
