The word n00b is spelled with zeroes.
Earth is generally thought of as the third planet, counting outward from the Sun. Planet 3 is Earth, Planet 2 is Venus, Planet 1 is Mercury, and I guess it follows that Planet Zero would be the Sun itself.
In the song, though, Earth is Planet Zero, implying a geocentric perspective. In a comment on my "planet n00b" post, Jason wrote:
Needs a comma.There's no planet, noob. Earth is a flat plane and space is fake and gay.
"Needs a comma" and "fake and gay" tie in with my last post, "This is why we use commas with non-restrictive modifiers" -- which is about a news headline that needs a comma, and the headline is on a literally "fake and gay" topic. I also mentioned that I saw the headline on the blog The Secret Sun. If Earth is really Planet Zero, but few people know this, then it is a sort "secret sun." Finally, the headline was accompanied by a photo of (a man pretending to be) a woman with long blonde hair and a short red dress.
The "Planet Zero" video -- with a lead singer also named Smith -- features a (presumably real) woman who is similarly attired.
