#1 I'm thinking we'll be hearing that this is the ~~Ming the Merciless~~ Mohammed the Merciful Moskkk of Titan, that Muzzy Islamonauts visited Titan hundreds of years ago on Celestial Flying Carpets, during the Perfect Caliphate of Peace and Dhimmi Dominion period. They visited all of the planets, in fact, while the infidels were still as mere dogs and cattle. They are all Muzzy "Lands". The Holy Dome of the Moskkk is made of Islamium, mined on Titan, which has many similarities, but is much more Holy and better than gold. Everything Muzzy is better than the kufr version, of course.

Titan is the 47,382nd Most Holy Site in Islam.

Don't forget - you can get your Islamium MeccaCard from the Islamic Bank of Kufr Dhimmitude - once your country submits.

"MeccaCard - Don't Jihad Without It! Accepted in over 7 locations!"

Priceless.

#4 So that would be the famous Mohammed's ~~night journey~~ wet dream to Titan, where the spare virgins on kept on ice.

#5 The spot, approximately the size and shape of West Virginia, is just southeast of the bright region called Xanadu and is visible to multiple instruments on the Cassini spacecraft.

Don't tell me! Let me guess! It's called the Robert Dole Memorial Titan Anomaly?

Can we send the venerable senator there to check it out? Can we send John Cain to help?

#7 WM: I'd love to send Byrd there, but I'm afraid he'd somehow take our tax dollars to build a highway in his name on Titan.

#9 The spot, approximately the size and shape of West Virginia,

#11 Deacon Blues has hit it.

The first person that knows the reference gets a free pizza in Tallinn, Estonia, as soon as you come to collect it.

#14 Heinlein. One of the slim novels he wrote in the '50s. I don't believe it was called The Puppetmasters, though.

#15 Oh, and the humans won. The Americans, of course, because Heinlein was a patriot who really believed in the innate superiority of the American approach to problem solving.

Am I right?
