Weigh in, but beware.

The answer is – not enough! Get big ones (facts, that is) on the more sizable of the Dippers right here:

  1. The Big Dipper isn’t a constellation. What?! Seriously. The formation is actually an asterism and part of the constellation Ursa Major.
  2. In 50,000 years, the Big Dipper will change shape and might resemble… a Big Iron. Or something.
  3. In other countries, the Big Dipper is referred to as the Plough, the Saucepan, the Great Wagon, and the Big Bear.
  4. The ‘dipper’ in Big Dipper is referring to a ladle – that’s a lot of soup!
  5. The Big Dipper has been used on flags (including Alaska’s state flag) and many company logos.

So glad to see the itty-bitty music machine is in great hands!

On another note, I think this wins ‘best handwriting ever’ award…

Use it in good music, Mackenzie!

And people sure did! Thanks to all the fans of Answers.com who sent us a lil piece of love to brighten our halls during (and after) the party last week.

Here’s a sampling of the love we got – too warm and fuzzy not to share. Check out the Facebook album for more.
