I actually DID NOT look that up.
In all seriousness, there is such a thing in human history in our entire species history called "mutual discovery". If you watch the entire COSMOS series with Neil deGrasse Tyson, in multiple episodes he points out that humans whom never met each other can come to similar conclusions.
I seriously DID make that up minutes before I posted it. But when you just now pointed out others have made the same/similar joke, it makes sense.
Just like Aboriginals and Chinese have their own mythology about stars and commits.
I am not shocked that I wasn't the first to come up with this joke. But I really did not look it up.
‘Comets’, not ‘commits’.
And I’m glad you came up with that joke on your own. Seriously glad.
