A bit more detail than CNN provides, from the inimitable Phil Plait (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/04/09/the-cosmic-hand-of-destruction/).

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.

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:

Isildur's hand, trying to put on Sauron's Ring.

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 ?

Only if the Virgin Mary tries to reach for the Lord's cockring. 

Allright, off to the confessional for me. :pope:

Actually if the invisible hand of the market is all the way out there is explains a lot of what's happened recently...

Either way, these are some great pics.  Excuse me, I've got to go gather up some emergency supplies just in case the Fellowship neglects to gather.

Water, check
Bandages, check
Extra blankets, check
