Help wanted: Cpt Kirk (William Shatner) asks for support to name one of Pluto´s moons "VULCAN" to honour Mr Spock
Stargazers and Star Trek fans, please unite !

your help is needed:

Planet Pluto has 2 moons, which will be named shortly.

to honour Mr Spock it is preferred to vote for "VULCAN" as name for one of those moons.

please vote "V" for Vulcan here
[link to www.plutorocks.com]


Cpt Kirk (William Shatner) needs our help !
see his comment on his facebook-page
"I need your help. As you saw with my post below, I asked that fans write in to get the name of one of Pluto's moons Vulcan (Romulus was already the name of a moon.) It apparently made a difference as they now have added it as an official name. Isn't that wonderful.

However, we now need votes, as Pluto was put put up today and we are in last place. Would you please consider voting for Vulcan?
"

Re: Help wanted: Cpt Kirk (William Shatner) asks for support to name one of Pluto´s moons "VULCAN" to honour Mr Spock
Dr. Spock wrote a book about early childhood education.

Mr. Spock came from the planet Vulcan.

Naming a tiny satellite of a trans-Neptunian object Vulcan would be an insult to Mr. Spock.

Two years ago there was a Facebook campaign to nominate Shatner for Governor-General of Canada, but he declined in order to host the show "Wierd or What?".

If he was Governor General, I would support him, but he's just an American TV personality now.

Maybe change your thread title and OP to read Mr. Spock instead of Dr. Spock? Mr. Spock is a Star Trek character, Dr. Spock was a child psychologist.

wtf, styx? styx sucks!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25042174


yes, it does !

Even if those other names make more sense regarding all the other moons/planets names based on ancient mythology;

but it would be fun to have at least one little moon namend after something what refers to nowadays tales, even if no one will understand it´s origin in about 100yrs.

fyi about the meaning of those other names:
The ancient grecian god of underworld Pluto is equivalent with the ancient romanian god of underworld Hades;
In ancient grecian mythology, Hades is the name of the underworlds god as well as the underworld itself; you have to cross river Styx to get there, and Cerberus is the dog that secures the entrance of hades.
Persephone is a goddess of the underworld as well, daughter of Zeus and was once kidnapped by Hades and brought there.
As no one get´s back to the upper world, she had to stay there and rules with Hades.
As the mythology goes, Orpheus´ wife Eurydike died due to a snake bite, and as he missed her so much, he went all the way down to Hades to persuade him to get his beloved wife back; Hades and Persephone allowed him to take here but under one condition; well,he messed up.

Acheron is one of the 5 rivers flowing into Styx;
Alekto - goddess of immoral behaviour
Erebos - god of darkness;
Hypnos - god of sleep
Lethe - another one of the 5 rivers flowing into Styx
Obol - ancient coin which was buried with the dead to pay ferryman Charon for their passage over Styx to get to Hades.

hope that helps with the decision :)

So how did Orpheus mess up? (He probably didn't ask for directions. Lol!!) Is this the story which explains the Seasons, that his Beloved can only be on the surface of Earth for 6 months and then she has to go back underground for 6 months?

Thanks for posting this, OP, 5 stars and a suggest pin bump I sent this to pretty much everyone on my address list so perhaps they can forward it to THEIR friends. Not everyone participates in Twitter and Facebook!

speaking of Dr. Kirk... err Cpt Kirk... fuckit, that egomaniac Shatner tool:

didn't he whack his wife and get away with it?

edit to add re "Nerine Kidd" from [link to en.wikipedia.org]

On August 9, 1999, Kidd was alone at her home as Shatner had left to see his eldest daughter Leslie in Orange County, California. When Shatner returned at 10:15 pm, he discovered Kidd lying in their swimming pool naked and unconscious.[1] Kidd had broken her neck before she either dived or fell into the water. Shatner called 9-1-1 for instructions, which received criticism in the press. Shatner put his phone down and dived into the pool to grab Kidd by the arm, towards the shallow end. A news helicopter, that monitored the 9-1-1 calls was close to the scene. Kidd was laid onto the side of the pool and her skin had turned blue and Shatner placed his finger into her throat to get life into the motionless body.[12] At 10:30 PM, paramedics arrived and had prounonced Kidd dead at the scene.[13] When confronted by the press, Shatner said of his wife, "She meant everything to me. Her laughter, her tears and her joy will remain with me the rest of my life". A post-mortem revealed that Kidd had a blood-alcohol level of 0.28 and had traces of the drug Valium.[14] On Shatner's worldwide fan club website, a black-bordered banner at the top of the homepage read: "In Memory of Nerine Kidd Shatner".[15] The news came as a shock when relatives of Kidd revealed that she was an experienced and strong swimmer.[16] A private memorial service was held on 14 August and was buried at the Church of the Hills at the Forest Lawn Cemetery.[13] Since her death, Shatner and his current wife Elizabeth Martin visit the scene on the anniversary of Kidd's death.[17]

I had heard the Shatner piece a few years ago and couldn't bear to listen to it again, but thanks for the video with Leonard Nimoy. I'd never seen that one, and it is very funny. Worth watching!

Oh, and thanks for your permission. I'm sure that it will tip the scales in favor of "Vulcan"! bump

Yeah, let the world get poisoned with GMO's and tainted water and toxic vaccines are to be injected at gunpoint. Agenda 21 is being implemented around the globe, more and more draconian laws are being passed and yours and mine liberties are disappearing with a stroke of a pen.

And you OP want me to worry or give concern about some Jew douche bag actor's character's name being voted on for naming rights of some inconsequential space rock??

Those moons must remain nameless until Pluto is restored to its rightful place in the solar system.
