It does look like it could be a modification of the stinger design. Those tentacles on the sides just make it look like a jellyfish. Who was Ko in [i]Lexx[/i]?

Mr ShermanTek, can I ask a question? Recently you spoke about Fire and Water being too close to be in a true twin orbit, how they would destroy each other. Could you tell me just how far apart two ordinary planets would have to be for a proper binary orbit to be achieved?
That wasn’t me. A few people have pointed that out. I once found a book that said the minimum distance for terrestrial-sized planets to orbit each other. The same part of the planets would face each other all the time, they would share an atmosphere, and the gravity would distort them into egg shapes. But I don’t remember the figure. I haven’t been able to find that book since and I don’t remember the title or author. So I really don’t know if the orbits of Fire and Water are plausible. I don’t think it would really matter, since they’re metaphysical anyway and wouldn’t necessarily have to follow the real laws of physics.

Also, apparently there was a Dr Who story set on an alternate earth that had a twin planet, but I can’t find a thing about it on the Net.
I don’t remember that episode. Or do you mean one of the New or Missing Adventures? Either way I don’t know.
