Gee, I hate when they discuss such trivial distances.

It's funny - I'm so use to seeing diffraction spikes that the stars don't look right without them...

What always blows me away when looking at pictures like this is how many friggin' galaxies and stars there are, how many planets there must be, and how much life must be teaming out there. And then I'm rather dismayed by how vast these distances are and how unlikely it actually it to traverse space to a nearby galaxy, yet alone another star in our own galaxy. And of course, I'm dismayed by how difficult communication is right here amongst ourselves on our own planet. None-the-less, I'm still blown away by the magnitude of the whole thing.

Thanks for the reminder. They use those to pack my coffee (two 1kg bags of beans in a carton about 25cm on a side), and I need to order more this week. I'll do it right now...

Are you bribing the officials? That's a serious offense.
But serious, where's the bribe? What's your offer? Cash, I want cold hard cash.

I couldn't decide between 'extremely poor quality' and 'approve'... Perhaps your wallet can enlighten me, no?
