I don't mind taking bets on remote chances. Perhaps you could have said that our chances of finding something as big as Quaoar were remote, too, but there it was. The chances I would meet the person that I was going to marry in the basement of the 200-inch Hale Telescope were even more remote, but by now Diane and I had been married almost six months. Remote chances lead to good things, as far as I can tell.

The seven days of the week are even named after the seven original planets. Sunday, Mo[o]nday and Satur[n]day are the most obvious. Tiw was a Germanic god of war, so Tuesday is actually Mars day. Woden was the carrier of the dead, fulfilling one of Mercury's less known jobs. Thor was the Norse god of thunder, like Jupiter, and Friday is the day of Venus in the guise of the Norse Frigga, goddess of married love.
