Proposed Flags of the Solar System

These flags for each of the planets in our solar system were designed by redditor Weslii. He said it was just something to do during a boring afternoon. The minimalist designs incorporate only circles, lines, and arcs, but still say something unique about each planet. What do think of them?  -via Metafilter

Thank you for that insight! As a biochemist-by-training, astronomy is an interesting topic to read about but I profess no deep understanding of the field.
I am surprised however that astronomers (be they planetary scientists or other types) don't agree with each other over the basics like the definition of planets and non-planets. Sure, we have controversies and disagreements in biology all the time - but I think all biologists pretty much agree on the basic taxonomic classifications (for example).

This appears to be a gentleman's lice removal tool. Properly positioned by placing his organ in the lower chamber with handle pointing away from body, hot coal was placed on the upper pan. A slight tilting of the handle up and toward the body sent the hot coal off the pan, over the spikes, setting the pubic hair aflame. When the lice ran into the clearing, they were quickly dispatched by repeated stabbing from the three prongs.

This is the original prototype Spork. During testing it was found that users would often impale their upper lip on fork portion , and that the spoon portion failed to hold any liquid. The first Spork patent, based on this prototype, was issued to Samuel W. Francis under US Patent 147,119 in February 1874.

We use that every thanksgiving when carving the bird. It's a combination turkey peeler-serving fork. For use with the combination carving knife-nail clipper.

Ultimate s'mores tool, you place the first graham cracker & a liberal serve of chocolate in the lower tray; roast not one, not two, but three marshmallows on the prongs; whilst the marshmallows cook the chocolate melts; finally slide the final cracker off the top tray and enjoy perfection.

It's a rodent/mole removing tool. The flat end stops the mole from moving along in their burrow, and then the picks come down and pin/stab the mole. Krampus Greetings 2XL

The traditional tool for preparing "Absinthe corn on the cob".
Slide your corn into the bottom tray, sugar cube (or these days, maybe a cube of slpenda) on top of the prongs, slowly pour your Absinthe.......and bingo ! A tasy treat made by green faeries !!!
* Note that this also works well with candy bars and hot-dogs, too!

It is obviously a sspecial device that serves for picking up cigarette stubs with the spikes, the "shovel" serves for picking up half full packs of cigaretttes and the flat part may serce as portalbe ashtray for the cigaretts recycled from colletected cigarette stubs...
Only rarely used by fashionate hobos in the early 1920th...

It's a cheese plate server. The bottom is used for shaving slices from large blocks of cheese. The prongs are used to fend off all the mice that show up.
