Why do we call Big Dipper Big Dipper?...

Oh right...


A: It came with a name tag but nobody reads Latin here, so we just called it Big Dipper.

Q: Did the big dipper get its name because of what it looks like?
A: No! Originally the Big Dipper was called the Big Bear and the Little Dipper was called the Little Bear. However, special interest groups were concerned about the political incorrectness of naked constellations names so they changed the names to The Big Skinny Dipper and The Little Skinny Dipper. Other special interest groups were opposed to the idea of some weight challenged (thin) people getting constellations named after them while other massively challenged (over-weight) people did not. Between those interest groups and the state of education in the world today, they just decided to name them what we now know them today as.

because it made me laugh so loud, that I sacred my cat and it ran out of the room...

Well, we are well within the heliosphere ... so one could make a case that we do actually touch the Sun. Sort of.
