Just not stars, I don't like watching stars dance. Twinkle maybe, but dancing no.

I'll admit... I'm a SYTYCD addict...

'Stop NASA bombing the Moon!' ? The Register
Treehugging, possibly lycanthropic web-2.0 campaigners have launched a petition intended to "stop NASA from bombing the Moon!".

The organisers of the petition claim that the space agency is turning unspoiled lunar wilderness into a "firing range" for space weapons, and that US "imperialists" intend to colonise the moon "without regard for ecosystems or indigenous peoples".

The petition refers to "NASA's LRCROSS plan to bomb the dark side of the moon", but it seems clear that the authors - "the Chicago Surrealist Movement" - are on about the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite mission. LCROSS involves crashing a spent Centaur upper-stage rocket into the Cabeus crater at the lunar south pole this Friday; the following LCROSS sniffer-probe will then plummet through the resulting debris plume a couple of minutes later, transmitting readings back to Earth until it too crashes into the Moon.

According to the Chicago Surrealist Movement, posting a petition at the "Care2" treehugger-petition Web-2.0 portal, this is actually a space-based weapons test.

RE: Sniffer-Probe

I had to look the word lycanthropic up.
"a delusion in which one imagines oneself to be a wolf or other wild animal."

These self described surrealists have the above described delusion??
I didn't spend much time reading the article. Frankly, the derogatory use of the label "Tree hugger" informs me that it isn't worthy of my attention, since it was clearly written by a myopic slug. It has been my observation that people who scorn environmentalists are the same people who scorn science in general, and probably the same type who freaked out about Deep Impact on Temple 1 with scary SciFi scenarios of cometary debris devastating Earth. (Yep, I heard that crap three years ago)

I would imagine you could do a wall mural without pixelation.

With Firefox, at least, you'll get a little circle with a + sign in it, indicating the image has been reduced to fit your monitor. Click on the image to expand to true size and scroll around if you'd like.

If they find rings around Uranus, technically speaking, would they be considered hemorrhoids or assteroids?

Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."
