Are These the Funniest Thread Titles in Astronomy and Cosmology?

In summary, the main index of the Astronomy and Cosmology subforums featured four thread titles that lined up in an amusing way: "Is it smart?", "Is it possible?", "Possible solution for dark...", and "Angle of the sun?". This sparked a humorous exchange among members, with one member joking about the need for more lame jokes and another celebrating the departure of a member with a similar username.

Every once in a while thread titles line up in amusing ways on the main index. In the Astronomy and Cosmology subforums, these were the four thread titles listed, in the order they appeared on the main index just now:

"Is it smart?"
"Is it possible?"
"Possible solution for dark..."
"Angle of the sun?"

:rofl: Priceless!

:rofl: Yeah, I was taken aback earlier when I saw the title about Carly being gone, and know I had seen a new poster named Carly. I was starting to worry the mentors were getting a little overjoyed and trigger happy about banning people, until I realized it was two different Carlys. :rofl:
