2851: "Messier Objects"

Post by ratammer »

Title text: The debate over the correct Messier number for the Ship of Theseus is ongoing.

I can never read that phrase without reading it as if it's talking about objects that are messier than others.

I read the title and wondered for a brief moment if it was misspelled because I thought it was Meisser

I am not a sportsball type person. But... I thought this would be about Lord Stanley's cup and some sticks and ... tape and things. I am not a sportsball aficionado.
