I didn't know it was that specific, I thought it just meant ruler/prince/king, etc.

Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star about 22 light years away, orbited by a handful of planets - some of which seem to be in the star's "Goldilocks zone".

588. Noun. An Army term used for a prostitute. Originated during the Vietnam War, as soldiers would communicate a "Code 588" over the radio, meaning that they were approaching a brothel. Soldiers also used the term to refer to a good mood resulting from the use of a prostitute the previous night. In modern times, refers to any person, especially female, with prostitute-like qualities.

603 Squadron is my local RAF unit.

Should I ask why we are on 603 when there have only been 600 posts?
