The field of astronomy was thrown in to turmoil last night, after Earth seemed to have gained a new moon.
At approximately 6.45pm GMT on Sunday 26th Feb, a spherical object seemed to appear almost out of nowhere, and began orbiting the planet.
At a mere 68–70cm (27–28in) diameter, it is too small to be a man-made satellite.
It has already been named "Adam".

Adam deserves amedal for that penalty.
Oh, sorry, he got one.
One more than any manu player this season.

Fred, the first few replies are positive ones
At least there's plenty of material for when they remake Star Trek:The Motion Picture...
"Captain, the creature is asking for "The Launcher", it will not respond to anyone else"
"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a pundit!"
"My...god...and I thought 'I' had big balls!"
And yes, I can feel another post2thread OP coming on, watch this space (no Star Trek pun intended).

He was going for the conversion - counts as 2 penalties scored.
Just ask Beckham & The Roo....

New thread up, this one's a doozy
Fred, you might want to avoid it, don't want to spoil your "finally broke our trophy drought" mood any more than I have

Good one.. but assuming its the ball Adam used for his penalty you're referring to, I'm pretty sure it hasn't got a diameter of 68-70 cm, that would be the circumference
Shocking penalty though!
