Okay, I have two stupid questions.  (I'd rather have Two Stupid Dogs, but whatever...  )

Numero Uno:
This is totally dumb, but it just occured to me.  The moon can never be retrograde, right?  *lol*

Numero Dos:
This one I can find again, but hopefully someone here will know it without me having to drag out my Encyclopedia of Astrology.  What's the word for how far (how many signs) a planet can be from the sun?  Like, Mercury can only be in your sun sign or the two on either side, and that's its ________.  (It's something like declination or delineation, I just can't remember!  Disposition?)

Stupid Answers:

1) Um, I don't think so--but have no idear 

2)  Err-uh, distance?  :P

1) Only when the earth spins backwards.

2)  Decandecumbustriture.

SaDiablo, OMG that cartoon! I forgot about it, hadn't seen it in over a decade!!

I think the answer to #2 is "Elongation"

(PinkMinxx, I almost googled your answer for 2), HAHAHA)

Francetta!

 SaDiablo, thanks for the opportunity to joke around a little...  Clearly I have no idea on EITHER question, hah!  I would say "no" on #1, but since I am totally not 100% sure, I googled and found this, which made my brain go retrograde while reading it

LOL i heart this thread.

Francetta, YESH!   You is da bomb!
I looooove Two Stupid Dogs.  I tried just finding the theme song, but no one had it.  :(  I have been known to stop randomly and do the "Two stupid dogs, TWO STUPID DOGS!" from the end of the theme.

I would say something to you, Minxxy, but I think I broke my brain on that article.  *lol*

Yay I got the word right or yay for 2 Stupid Dogs???

Yay for getting the answer right, of course!  *lol*  Off to watch silly dogs now...  =P
