Planet G

[miladycarol]

Tonight, I noticed a dry patch of skin between G's eyes. Since I had been looking at a topographical world map only hours ago, I thought to tell him that that must be his equatorial region as it is the dry area of his head. Mind you, he has a large head. I mean this honestly in the physical I-can't-find-hats-to-fit-him way. I explained that, since his head was as large as a planet, that must be the dry equatorial region. In a stroke of brilliant Freudian slippage, he either said, or I misheard, "Yeah, it's part of my whole ego system."

"EGO system!" I screeched, then fell to gales of laughter.

"Eco system! ECO system!" He tried to correct me, but it was too late.

Yes, yes, G's head certainly is all a part of his ego system. Ah, how I love that planetary body. *snark* It serves me well for humour, if nothing else. *giggles*

You two have such a punbiotic relationship it is amazing...

Oooo! Punbiotic! I love it! *writes new vocabulary word in MiLady-fords English Dictionary*

*thinks*

Um... Is that a good thing?

[lurkitty.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. punbiotic relationships have a high degree of resistance to ill-humours.

Oh, I dunnnoooo *sweeping tone*. I believe we've made a lot of people quite ill and disgusted with our puns and humour over the years. *gleeful cackle*

Shouldn't he actually have two of those, above and below a wet tropical belt on the equator itself?

Yes, I actually remember this stuff. It stuck in this amateur planetologist's head.

Ooooo... planetologist is another new word for me. I had always called them my "topographical pursuits."

Honestly, it doesn't seem as clear-cut at that. The desert areas seem very spotty. It depends, in my uneducated mind, upon the winds and the mountain ranges. Really, the African (heat induced) deserts are further north than most others in this hemisphere. I suspect that is due to currents and mountain placement driving or preventing rain on the other side of oceans. I won't even broach my thoughts on the cold desert of Siberia.

Perhaps you could explain to me why the desert regions and tropical areas don't disperse evenly. Like I said, this is just me and my brain without any proper schooling. I defer to your amateur expertise. *smiles warmly*

Well, the north African deserts are largely the result of human activity - some of that was forest, until we came along and chopped it all down. As acts of ecological destruction go, it's right up there with killing and eating everything in the Americas bigger than the bison (and then starting in on those) or modern global warming; like those, it didn't happen overnight, but once it started...

You're right about there being other factors in terms of mountains, etc. More later when I have time and focus.
