Unfortunately Earth is mostly below the horizon for this one. :(

Total vibe right here
And now over to Bobo for today's weather: .... ACK, ACK, WAAAAA, ACK, ACK, AAAAAAA!!!!!!! ... (feces thrown at camera) .... ACK, AAAAHHHHH, AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
And 30% of the time, Bobo nails it.
I didn't know anyone named Bobo works at Fox News.
We were playing a music trivia game and the question was "what planet did david bowie sing about life on?"
And my buddy says "earth?" Lmao
He's not wrong.
It applies to most songs lol
You could argue it applies to all songs in some sense (at least, the ones we've heard).
Nah. The song in the triva question was Mars, for example. There's plenty of songs about things other than earth, and other than life.
I know what you're saying though.
The song is called life on Mars, but it's all about Earthly things, so I reckon he was singing about Earth problems and only contrasting it to the highbrow idea of life on Mars
Looking at the lyrics again it seems to mostly be about a film, or films in general
I didn't write the question. It's a trivia game that came in a box.
I never see Earth in the sky.
Me neither. Don't you find that suspicious?? What else are they hiding from us!? Do they think we're stupid????
You ain't been high enough.
Stand on your head?
Or live lower
Wait a minute, that's not the order I've learned. Have we been lied to about MVEMJSUNP?
you're talking about the order from the sun, but that's not necessarily how it has to appear in our sky. It's like how the stars in orion's belt are actually stupidly far from each other, and from their perspective they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I lead stargazing classes with my city parks, and I can tell you that it's pretty much impossible to find earth in the night sky.
I don't know where you're searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.
Idk, bro, I've never seen Earth at the horizon, it's mostly just trees and houses and stuff. Do you have to be in dark skies?
It's right here dude.
Aren’t they always on the plane of the elliptic though?
ecliptic, yes they are
Yeah but you can't always see them all together.
How is that an alignment though? It’s not like MacGuyver or Lara Croft is going to have to stop some baddies from assembling ancient artefacts in a particular room to unleash arcane terrors into the world just because the planets are sort-of visible together in the sky.
It's an alignment because if you look up at it they're in a line. That's what alignment means, Lara Croft and ancient artifacts are optional.
Yeah they're out of order too
