The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I saw this at work and immediately thought of Languish.  :hug:

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

A few days ago I saw a modified picture of the "marines raising the US flag on Iwo Jima".  The author replaced the US flag with the dollar sign.

My first thought it was the market's invisible hand.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A concept like "the market" is meaningless to her.  This is the woman who insisted that Princesca do her taxes for he because "she's afraid she'll mess up", even though she could use the 1040EZ form with no problem.  In addition, she somehow didn't file for an extension correctly last year.  :huh:

Pareidola FTW!  :w00t:

There is no pareidola.  There is only the Virgin Mary on EVERYTHING. :mad:

The article mentioned by Vin said this was a Nasa colored picture.  Does that mean the actual image recorded by the telescope has been modified ?
