Astronomers find rocky extrasolar planet

But any vague resemblance stops there. Oh! oh by the way, I like the sound factor...and I think thats the only thing that interested me

I like how they make these kinds of "big" reports on completely uninteresting planets. Sure, the size is about right, but the planet would only actually mean anything to us... if we evolved into a fire-resistant race of super-humans. Or built extremely advanced spacesuits and ships so we could make a colony there. But... everything we are interested in researching would be ashes, or well, not even ashes :S

why do they print something thats no interest to anybody?
