Where's your "no god" now, Commies?

Look what happened, Russia! You threw out God and then you were punished.

You replaced the cross with the hammer and sickle, and look at it now.

In ruins, rusting away to nothingness, or lingering on in horror.

Look what happens when you forsake God. Look! And repent.

into the dust bin

Sigh. Communism. How I miss you. Look here at this cold hard logic. It was scientists who sent monkeys into space, not Jesus.

It is the working class who built the factories and the buildings, the tractors and trucks. It is people who build our cities and monuments, not Jesus. Not the spiritual and fiscal bourgeoisie.


Comrades!

Bustin' Jesus

Jesus having risen from the dead puts him squarely in the Ghostbustin' category, and fair game for entrapment.

But even Ghost Busters get busted, one day. RIP to Harold Ramis, one of the funniest persons ever in the history of making jokes.

Know your Lord

Just in case you're confused, this friendly Tea Partier has a simple reminder. Of course, Jesus was the son of God and Allah is the Arabic word for God so in other words this Tea Partier is blaspheming.

And that's why it's great to be born again.

What Jesus wants

Since as we all know, the Jews of 33BCE Judea were blond, blue eyed, Aryan wonder boys. And this fine church going Southern lady will have none of this "Black" race in the Church of Christ, proper. Seems logical, from a biblical perspective.

Southern Hospitality*

The South is a very diverse and tolerant place. Come see our heritage parades and festivals!

A different sort of tragedy

Redneck fashion is a virus that's infected America, and spreads worldwide. The only known cure is ridicule, so here you are, an inoculation.

Your wedding day

Dressed in white lace, walking down the aisle, all your friends beside you, the light just right.

Nice day for a

Red Wedding.

I was well and truly shocked when I read it. An awesome, though bitter twist as I, of course, was on Team Robb. But, alas. Our heroes fall. Because of love, and power. Oh damn you foul GRRM for taking the King in the North from us too soon! And like that? Damn.

Good storytelling though, and that's all that truly matters.

Words are wind

Oh Summer child, give up hope now for any new books from noted author George RR Martin. For he has been taken with writers block and fame, and the Wall shall fall before you see another.

Meanwhile, in Eternia

A He-Man of 1983, for real. He lived at Chess King, and wow did he get all the ladies, as you can see in this literal depiction of Prince Chess King.

His power went beyond his muscles and dragons - if you wore his clothing brand, you gained some fraction of his He-Manly aura, which surely would do your sad self wonders at the mall on Saturday night.

The Resistance Continues

Exile has been difficult for Skeletor, the rightful ruler of Eternia. But rest assured, while Skeletor still breathes, he will fight to regain his rightful crown. Join Skeletor, and victory is assured!

Dancin Bones Mon

When you think about it, man, we're just skeletons covered in skin. But when you really think about it, we're just skin wrapped skeletons transporting organs in support of the brain and brain stem. The real you is just a brain and stem, man, and all the rest is the infrastructure.

Weird, right? But then everything is, if you think about it.

Whitest Girl

Here she is, as voted by the Internets.

Ironically from the Rebecca Black classic and timeless hit, "Friday".  If you've never heard it, spare yourself the pain and never do so.

You cannot touch this

Don't even try. You'll just hurt yourself.

A new humour

You couldn't make this very funny joke 10 years ago, or ever before.

You glimpse but a sliver of the Internet's power.

Superb Owls

A wholesome Owl family dinner. Don't judge!

Mean streets

Out here on the streets, man, you gotta stand up for yourself. If someone wants to fight, you gotta fight. The trick though is figuring out how to never be that bird.

Fighting's for losers.

Just enough parrot

Life's good. Got all my bird stuff down here.

Too many parrots

I got 99 problems and too many parrots is but one of them.

Birdnet

Where the discerning hawk goes online for a little H & A.

Too Cool for a Murder

Jimmy Crow prefers the company of people. The food's easy, the toy's plentiful, and Jimmy's always the coolest dressed crow in town.

To hell with the Murder, man.

Sins of our Mothers

Fact: Birds raised in cigarette butt nests are 78% more likely to smoke as adult birds.

Home is where you make it

Fun fact to know and share: Birds that build nests using cigarette butts have much healthier chicks. The reason being lack of parasites, as no mite or tick dares cross the chemical monstrosity that is butt nest.

Does it hurt the birds? Studies so far say not at all, but the opposite - cigarettes help birds live healthier lives.

Tiny Worlds

Behold Saturn in her absolute magnificence. There are much larger pictures available on the Internet, fans, than here. Seek them out if you need a new desktop.

Look just outside Saturn's brightest inner rings at 9:15 o'clock  - there is a white dot. That white dot is Earth, and that dot contains our entire species, now, then, and seemingly forever.

We regress, while we know such wonders await us.


Blame Republicans.

A Storm on Saturn

In Saturn's North Pole sits a spinning red storm, whose outer edges form an octagon. As seen here by our friend, Cassini. A close up:

It looks like fire but it's not fire, because there's nothing to burn. Some combination of water and ammonia and other gases, each reflecting light differently, giving us color:

Amazing color. Cassini took this photo while stoned, for the record.

Cassini

That "star" you see in the middle right is actually Earth. Our world, from Cassini.

Cassini is currently cruising around Saturn, taking it all in.

Cassini is one of mankind's greatest achievements, on par with the pyramids etc. And I mean that both ironically and unironically.

In search of color in space

Not my shot - I wish. I've been looking for the Northern Lights for years, but never caught a glimpse. I'm pretty far North, but not far enough. I might have to travel to Iceland one day to remedy this - seeing colors dance across the sky is the kind of religious experience I want to try.


That's the ISS streaking overhead, with 6 people on board living and working in space. And here's what the Northern Lights look like from the ISS:

As you can see, the Northern Lights are a thin band of radiation at the edge of space. This is actual solar matter that has slammed into Earth's magnetosphere and spiraled down towards the Poles, producing the lights as the solar matter strikes the highest portions of the atmosphere.

Magic!

Just another Burj

You're yesterday's news, Burj al Arab.

Such is the fate of most Gulf buildings within a few short years. Spectacular has beens.

Now we're even

You might be surprised how common this attitude is among a certain percentage of Americans.

Or, you might not.

Mecca Vegas

Mecca in 1917. A world ago, as that world was directly connected to 2000 years and more of history. Whereas what's happened since is brand new.

Decadence. Luxurious wealth. Super technology. Welcome to Mecca 2013.

I'm sure the construction you see on the right has come far closer to completion since this picture was taken, if you can imagine it - another gaudy tower rising high in the sky.

There's malls in that big building, by the way. Shopping, at Mecca.

Tower Truths

I owe much to this tower, this Empire State Building. If not for it, I would not be in New Gondolin. So here's to you, the Original Tower (OT):

LADEE to space. To the moon, in fact.

Flying on Sunshine

A real pic, of a plane flying in front of a solar observation.

Behold the sun.

It's like Van Gogh made the basic unit of our existence - stars.

Solar fares

A real picture, of the transit of Venus across the sun, and a plane that got caught between the Moon and New York City.

Eyes everywhere

Soon enough every where will be under the all seeing eye and what happens then? When men in suits have video of everyone at all times?


We enter the new age soon enough, fellow humans.

There has been an error

An error of some sort was required to create everything you see. For, there was matter and antimatter, and theoretically these two should cancel each other out, and yet they do not. By like 0.000001% for reference. But that 0.000001% was enough to create our entire Universe. Every star, every galaxy, every black hole, the sum remainder of an unfinished math set.

Imperfection is the source of Creation.

This being true, should we judge those who make mistakes? Or systems that crash?

Like this digital billboard with a Windows error in the fog?

Blue Screens

Even the Enterprise had a memory dump now and then. Speaking of, RIP, Tasha Yar.

You left the cast too soon.
