I had dinner with my girlfriend at MenKui-Tei, a Japanese ramen noodles resturant in the East Village. I ordered the curry ramen and I added a friend rice dish to my noodles for $3.00. The noodles were good and the rice was good. My girlfriend wasn’t too hungry so she had beef’s tongue appetizer and most of my small fried rice dish. Tongue is not exactly something I would eat, but if she like it, more power to her.

I think this is a chain of the original Men Kui Tei located on 56th St and 6th Ave. However, this new location seems to have more choices on their menus, while the original location is mainly noodles.

If your in the mood for some good noodles and you need to watch your wallet, check out this resturant.

It finally looks like they will define what a planet is. The International Astronomical Union members will vote on Aug. 24 to accept or reject the following definition of a planet:

A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet.

If it gets approved, we’ll have 12 planets in our solar system with 12 more that need more review before being considered a planet. I think we should leave the term “planets” just for the 8 planets we all agree on.
