Odd to think that pale blue dot in space spawned life, and that life has the technological capacity to annihilate itself in an instant.

In a very real way, staring at that dot is like staring at someone with a gun to it's head.  That's what I see in that blue dot.

[Triple Zero]

Don't think of the guns. Think of all the BACON on that blue dot!

BACON!!

Infinite complexity can be described by simple rules.

Math, bitches.

I was going to put this in the apple talk pic thread, but then I realized this is science, so it goes here.


Personally, I love this quote from the paper "During `missionary position' intercourse the penis has the shape of a boomerang."
