What name for a hypothetical 10th planet did several notable science-fiction writers�including Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke, and Larry Niven�coincidentally "agree" on?
The name in question is Persephone, after the Greek goddess abducted by Hades (the Greek analogue of Pluto) to be his bride in the underworld. Niven created his Persephone for his Known Space series of books. Clarke also chose to name his 10th planet Persephone in several fictional works, most notably in his novel Rendezvous with Rama.
The Douglas Adams reference is a little more muted; in Mostly Harmless, Persephone is the official name of the 10th planet, but most folks refer to it by its nickname Rupert. (The nickname, in typical Adams fashion, somehow involved an astronomer's pet parrot.) |

and for obscure reasons I give Pers a full 10 points for her cool avatar |

Persephone is also the name of a planet in Joss Whedon's Firefly.
BTW, Persephone/Rupert, I can't remember if I've rated your avater yet, but it gets a definite 9/10, great FX in it. |

My favourite avatars are big, bold, and easily associated with the author they represent. F.O. Catt's is a solid 9+/10 for me, as is R.L. Yacht's (remember him? he started all this off). Throw in some animation, and I'll give ya get a 10/10 (S.P.'s with its wiggly eyes absolutely rocks).
As a man-lovin' woman, I don't warm up especially well to the avatars featuring yet another set of big boobs (*yawwwwwnnnn*); however, that is how it is supposed to be, isn't it? |

@FredFlinstone: I don't understand your avatar. Are you against 419eater? the circle with the bar would be fine if it didn't say "eater" under it. . .
with the word eater 1/10
without the word eater 6/10 |
Yeah, putting the eater there was a mistake, I think I was tired when I did it and I wasn't paying attention. Anyway I like this one now. |

In Douglas Adam's Mostly Harmless, a tenth planet was discovered. "What had happened was this: Last week astronomers had announced that they had at last discovered a tenth planet, out beyond the orbit of Pluto. They had been searching for it for years, guided by certain orbital anomalies in the outer planets, and now they'd found it and they were all terribly pleased, and everyone was terribly happy for them and so on. The planet was named Persephone, but rapidly nicknamed Rupert after some astronomer's parrot - there was some tediously heart-warming story attached to this - and that was all very wonderful and lovely." |

Unfortunately I have no applications that can modify pictures to the required size to allow me to have a cool avatar. I have to trawl through Google small pics for something that takes my toes fancy. |

I like Jojobean's, Kleindoofy's and Don's...
-- All are sultry, sexy, and a bit enigmatic;
-- All seem to fit the personality of their respective posts, in a strange sort of way (and yes, I know they're males in RL). |
