Kepler 881b is probably a super-Earth in a tight orbit around its parent star, Kepler 881, a G1 star more than 4400 Ly away in the constellation of Cygnus. The orbit gives it a probable temperature of > 1000 K, so it is highly unlikely to harbour life.

In a very American judgement, a Floridian was sentenced to 885 years in prison in 2015 - the maximum sentence of 15 years for each of the 59 pieces of child pornography that he owned. Nota bene, this was before he went on trial for the actual child rape he had committed as well.

I am sad to inform you that we lost one post when a double entry for 832 (the entries being postes only a minute apart) whnt unnotices. So to re-align the thread I feel compelled to tell you that

a) in the year 892, the German city of Bonn, on the middle Rhine was sacked by Vikings attacking from upstream, proving that not only coastal cities were at risk, and
b) this KAWASAKI NINJA 1000SX, which has only 893 mi. on the meter, is availiable used from Superbike Factory, but probably not at a bargain price.

On with the game. the first post on a page should always discuss a number which is a [number divisible by 25] plus one. A quick look through the pages reveals that we were misaligned for quite long stretches.
