I had a discussion with a friend today and we are both in agreement that Earth isn’t an appropriate name for the planet we inhabit. All the other planets in our solar system were named after the Roman gods. Mind, we could call it Terra, but I can’t seem to find a Terra anywhere in the Roman pantheon. All the other planets had some sort of awe in their names attributed to the gods they were associated with: Mercury – the messenger of the gods, Venus – the goddess of love, Mars – the god of war, etc.
I believe it would be appropriate to rename Earth to planet Bacchus, in honor to the god of wine and fornication, two things you’ll find plenty of on Earth.
While we’re on the subject:
Not suitable for children; may not be suitable for non-children.

I’m all for that. The renaming the planet anyway. I’m not looking at your pictures until I get home today. 😛
