Screenplay, Moose... Who plays the astro-nut? Tom Cruise? Tom Hanks? Wife is
Julia Roberts... this guy's really dedicated to his hobby... Then after he
moves to the mountains of Arizona (after the smoke clears...) he discovers a
comet that he names "Comet Screw-You Honey".


In the eccentric world of astronomy, if you discover an asteroid you can name it whatever you want, but if you discover a comet it has to be named with the discoverer's surname or names. Our protagonist would have to change his name by deed poll if he wanted Comet Screw-You Honey!

Roger - the pedantic astronomer :)
