@Georgegamow123 Worried about the wrong y-intercept fr

[Gerard Peter Kuiper @GerardKu14]

@Georgegamow123 Ahaha skill issue

[Gerard Peter Kuiper @GerardKu14]

I changed my name from Gerrit to Gerard cause I was made fun of in school. Idk what I was thinking, cause Gerard isn’t any better

Found some ransom’s mom posting this on Facebook. I can’t believe my legacy has been reduced to this 😪

You know what they say about 3rd: it’s the best. The Kuiper belt makes the 3rd zone of the solar system relevant

[Gerard Peter Kuiper @GerardKu14]

Lmao I lied, the Kuiper belt exists🤯Thanks to Kenny Edgeworth for letting me take credit for his work

Neptune just couldn’t hang onto its satellites

Neil Armstrong no longer owes me anything. My research got him to the moon, and my hypothesis of the moon’s being like snow was correct #donteattheyellowsnow

Not only can I speak Dutch, but I’m also fluent in German, Dutch and French

Greenhouse gases and CO2 emissions are the future of our world. Adapt to the lack of oxygen, and we’ll be able to thrive on Mars’ CO2 atmosphere

Even the universe puts two stars together as they form, yet you’re STILL single?

Congrats to @ThatStarTrekGuy and @CarolynShoemkr for winning the Kuiper Prize. I hope your entire life’s research was worth earning a plaque with MY name on it 😂👎

Imagine dying of a heart attack on vacation with the love of your life #couldntbeme … 😂😅🙁😭
I blame the Mexico heat

Sometimes the gases in my stomach come together like my hypothesis of formation of the solar system. Anyone else?

[Gerard Peter Kuiper @GerardKu14]

@Edmund_Halley1 I hope you drown in your diving bell

[Gerard Peter Kuiper @GerardKu14]

I miss riding my bike as a child in the Netherlands. I rode into and drowned in a river once 🙂

People can say that I get no girls, but I found the shy Miranda and the eccentric Nereid #planetscanbesexytoo
