Nadal gets own asteroid. Krispy Kreme store next.

There should be a point when enough is enough. Apparently we haven’t reached that yet with Spanish star Rafael Nadal.

So the interwebs tell me he’s got his own asteroid. In 2003, the Astronomical Observatory of Majorca (Spain, Rafa’s home) discovered the lovely asteroid numbered 128036, and, as they are allowed (finders keepers. Duh) they named the thing after Rafa.

Next time you’re traveling through the galaxy you can impress your friends with “Hey, that’s 128,036. Or as I like to say: The Rafa-roid!” (cue the oooooing).

The thing’s close to Jupiter, but situated between there and Mars, is four kilometers in diameter (I refuse to convert), travels 20 kilometers per second (see the previous) and frequently tugs on its ass while consistently wiping off its biceps.

I think.

    We should just name the moon after him while we’re at it.
