what do you mean by 'superficial'? it was a light hearted post at new year where I was suggesting Flod from planet FlodFlod in the FlodFlodFlod region of the universe wouldn't necessarily recognise what I was saying!

There aren't any more 'Suns' in the universe... they're called stars.
And simplifiying comms is a bad reason for shutting down thought processes...
Feel free to see my light-heartedness.... or continue if you wishmy friend !
It is 2015 on this planet, no need to "ponder" anything. I think climate change and pollution and world poverty are far more important to our species right now than what number we go by as far as year.
