I did a search on Alta Vista for “the first planet”, and found this: What is the first planet you approach in Gyruss? Neptune ---

No no no, “What” is the second planet, “Who” is the first planet. “I don’t know” is the third planet, which incidentally, is the planet I happen to inhabit. **Anal Scurvy** , it isn’t the moon? I thought I had it with that one, too. I’m glad you enjoyed it though. ---

Frankly, Anal Scurvy, if you told me your hotmail password and then asked me to guess your SDMB username, there is no way in hell I’d ever guess “Anal Scurvy.” so you win this round. and I’m leaning toward the Daily Planet. Editor, Perry White. Your password is “GreatShadesOfElvis” flup, up in the sky! ---

It can’t be Mercury or Monday, since those have already been given. (Well, Monday hasn’t been strictly given as an answer, but I assume Anal would have remarked on it.) I assume that it has nothing to do with the name of any planets, since we need no knowledge of astronomy. I liked the answer “Uranus” for two reasons: One, well Uranus - Anal Scurvy, you make the connection. Two, Uranus was the first planet to be discovered in modernity. But that requires special knowledge of astronomy. And it’s already been given. Are we looking pop culture references here? Word games? Is the answer in the question? Some random guesses: HotAsHell ThirdRockFromTheSun (a bit long, methinks) NobodyKnows NewWorld We’re graspin’ for straws, here. Help. This’ll drive me nuts for the next few hours, so the answer better be good and guessable. ---

Your secret question only gives us a clue to your secret answer, not your password. So my guess at the password is: armadillo Or maybe I’m just being overly pedantic. I’m tired. ---

Or you could put it in spoiler tags so others can keep guessing but I’m out. Planet and home are my best guesses. ---
