    Hi
In summary, there was a discussion on PF about the absence of a member who was up all night writing a history essay. The conversation turned to how each member is significant and loved, and the topic of Saturn's rings and smileys also came up. The conversation ended with a puzzle about which smiley was missing from the thread.

I'm guessing they are a part of the Saturnian ring system, which are circles (roughly) being disturbed by 'tiny' pieces of rock.
