 Okay. This technology is now under my control. Ignore all journal entries that

Today I discovered the International Star Registry (which will name a star after
you if you give them money) and (fortunately) also discovered that it's a bit of a scam. However,
this got me thinking:

I now have a number: 29888 (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy looked deep
within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined &nbsp;[1]</i&gt.
Stars are known by numbers (as well as names in some cases).

MINE.
A web surf might give me a list of star numbers.....

again.
Anyone out there got an online star catalog? Mail me! &nbsp;
