Dagobah Park

Ask anyone what they think of when they think of space, and 95% of the time, chances are you will hear that space has really big trees. Until today, I always thought that was just a myth, but look at this:

Yes, that's me with my arms stretched out at the bottom of the picture. I'm pretty sure this thing is bigger than my apartment.

Space via iPhone

For everyone who wonders what space looks like from an iPhone, I took this picture. -->

Also of note is the giant "please touch" sign located just below Antarctica that has puzzled penguins and astronauts alike for years now.

As promised, here is the exclusive insiders look at America's first line of defense against the other side of the Big Island. That's right, it's a rock monster secretly guarding the ocean. These guys are no doubt hiding all along the wall, ready to attack any Mermaids or Hurricanes foolish enough to mess with the good old U S of A.

Rock Wall

So, here we have the southern tip of the United States, complete with a lava rock wall that will be important if Hawaii is ever attacked by land. I think our government may have learned the wrong lesson from Pearl Harbor when they decided to build this.

But can they handle McD Tech?

Today's Question: Is it possible to fail at Pedros Tacos? And does it become part of your permanent record if you do? Is an admissions counselor one day going to say to a prospective student "Well, Kebis, you have a 3.8 GPA overall, but I see here you failed Pedros Tacos in junior high. And we just don't have a place here for someone who wasn't outstanding at Pedros Tacos. How do you expect to become the leader of the free world if you don't even have a basic level of proficiency at Pedros Tacos?"

This post is brought to you by the Council for Determining the Outstandingness of Students at Pedros Tacos. And by photosynthesis, but in a less-direct kind of way.

Money Does Come in Cases

Until today, I could have truthfully claimed to have never received a briefcase full of money.

Yes, those are ones.

Word on the street is that the squid's thesis paper on cold fusion did not stand up to peer review, and it wanted revenge on science.
