I'd be a villan, definately although in my mind I'd be doing good, but I would have a cool costume.

The truth is, that's my friend Stef. I think I was on a level higher than her.
The lie is: It's a dwarf I was doing at the time.
Ha! I called Aaron a girly (not the first person I reckon). If I was a superhero I'd be Super Ted obviously.

Weird that I watched the Sky at Night this week for the first time in years.
So, sometimes I look up at the sky and see a star that has a red tinge to it. Is it Mars? Someone told me years ago that it was, but I'm not sure if it's right. Likewise, there's one with a green tinge. Is that Venus?
That is distortion made by the ozone and other layers of the earth. Mars, Venus and Jupiter are normally quite a lot brighter than everything else in the sky.
How come it's only ever one star with that colour and not several at once?
It may not be the ozone layer or if it is, it could be the angle? Like a rainbow, you can only see from certain angles. It could also be a dying or new star. I'm not sure to be honest. 
My girlfriend just got a telescope recently and I'm looking forward to using it. It's a fairly decent budget one (£150ish), but she hasn't actually used it yet and it's collecting dust.

That's the universe right there.
