Known to the ancient Babylonians and Greeks, Triangulum was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy.

Triangulum

Triangulum isn't in the world. In fact, no constellations are. Rcsprinter (barney) @ 16:12, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The world =/= Earth, and therefore it is. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 18:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Would "the most boring constellation in the universe" work better? - Dank (push to talk) 19:03, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't understand your comment, Armbrust. What are you saying? Constellations are in the Earth? Rcsprinter (chinwag) @ 19:17, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I mean the world isn't the same as Earth (it's much broader), and therefore Triangulum is/exists in the world. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 19:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Changed to "universe". - Dank (push to talk) 20:04, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it's meant to be humorous rather than a criticism. Praemonitus (talk) 14:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

World Trade Center

Beautiful picture. I have in my collection of actual newspaper articles and photos a photo taking up the entire front page of the newspaper I subscribe to, which also shows what a beautiful day it was. Sadly, the towers are on fire in that picture.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:28, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
