The Ups and Downs of Extraterrestrial Life

Today's Jolly Rancher Challenge, after yesterday's assignment to write an ode to a planet, was to say the best thing and the worst thing about living on another planet. The answers were straight out of Kids Say the Darndest Things.

"The solitude would be a plus," said one guy, "but the suffocation would be pretty bad."

"I would love all the newness!" another student told me, "but? Ugh! No WiFi!"

"The low gravity would be great, but the -600 temps would be pretty cold."

"I'd love to see the rings every day, but no solid surface would make it hard to walk around."

"Well, I'd never be cold on Venus," a girl said, "but I don't think I would live very long!"
