Do you think that Jupiter is too fat or is that planet just a little
bit overweight?

Do you think it should eat some more asteroids or does it need a diet?

He is already a fat-ass and should go on a high-protein/low-carb asteroid
diet.

I suppose you are making comedy with us, but Jupiter actually is
"obese." It spins fast enough to have a greater diameter at the equator
than through the poles. Maybe you knew that?
