Mars Photo Sets Record on Neatorama Facebook - Neatorama

This morning we set a new record over on our Facebook page: 51 people liked, 12 people shared and 4 people commented on a photo of Earth, Jupiter and Venus, as seen from Mars. This, in and of itself, is no big deal. We've had status updates receive more than 10,000 likes on our Facebook page in the recent past. But the numbers I've just reported hit the status update within 1 minute and 27 seconds of posting it to the page! Very exciting!

So be sure to join the fun by LIKING our page. We've also got a Twitter, a Pinterest, and a G+ page, if you're so inclined, where we often have unique contests you won't find here on the blog. So come on over and say "hi!"

And half those comments are because this photo is a fake. Why are you excited about spreading disinformation?

The picture is a fake. The Bad Astronomer just covered this: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/08/10/an-unreal-mars-skyline

Frankenstein's Monster did have a name. Victor dubbed him "Adam" , though he was never actually addressed by that name.

I'm a Romanian. I don't mind talking about Dracula. B(r)am!

Regarding the pronunciation, you got it halfway correct: the 'ei' in the commonly used 'Frankenstein' is correct, and the 'Fronk-un' is correct. Add a 'sh' to that, and you'll get the proper German phonetics of 'Fronk-un-shtein'. Didn't know he was named 'Adam', Monica. Well done.

@Barking_Bud- Frankenstein is my favorite novel of all time (I've probably read it 50 times), so it wasn't that hard for me to know that little tidbit. ;) In the novel, after Victor sees what he's created, he abandons the name 'Adam' in his writings and refers to him only as the abomination, the creature, the monster, etc.

@Monica - The first half of my post was meant for the generic article reader and Miss C, it wasn't meant to be smart-allecky towards you :). And after that I just wanted to thank you for your contribution.

Actually, I assumed Miss C was making a joking allusion to Gene Wilder's character Fredrick Frankenstein in "Young Frankenstein," who insisted on that pronunciation in the beginning of the movie to divorce himself from his grandfather's reputation.

Sorry to have misinterpreted then :p But hey, it's the Internet after all: German phonetics are awesome, all Frankenstein movies kick ass, and now 56% of us will probably watch a cute kitty video LOL

Sidenote: I am not German myself.
