reminds me of the quote from Michael Palin (i think) - the UK is the only nation looking forward to global warming ;) |

A "pedantic" response would imply or state outright that anyone who called it gas was in dire need of proper education, upon which your shoulders the job must inevitably rest because no one else in sight has the training and intellect to perform it.
You did nothing of the kind, because you're not a condescending ass, and merely want to share knowledge. That's a cool example for us all.
You even capitalized "Sun". I do believethat the Sun IS a gas under all of the pressure of it' gravity, which at the outer edges is burning and THEN expelling the charged Ions, known as Plasma. |

TMBG is one of the very few groups who can ROCK YOUR FACE OFF and EDUCATE YOU at the same time.
Go Giants, Go!

What an irritating song. This sounds like something that should be on "Bill Nye the Science Guy," not on Radio Paradise. Blech.
