I’m all over the map!

I don’t know why I did this, but I typed my name into Google maps. Evidently, I’m everywhere but here.

Where are you?

Hunka hunka burnin’ pareidolia

Sure, you’ve seen the Virgin Mary in an oil slick (or at least some part of her), Jesus in the Eagle Nebula, an angry monkey angel in a cloud, and maybe even Lenin in a shower curtain. But these don’t really look all that much like what they’re supposed to (except for Lenin).

Now we have Elvis. And he rocks. Literally.

Ohhhhhh, baby. That makes me wanna peanut butter ‘n’ nana sammich.

Oh yeah.

Note: this marks the obvious need for the "pareidolia" category. So be it. I’ll add in older posts.

Tip o’ the sequined 45-degree-angle glasses to Fark.

The Entire Cosmos… except Chapter 4

I was reading blogs the other day and saw one (now I can’t remember which one, dagnappit!) which linked to a site that has all the episodes of Carl Sagan’s "Cosmos" online, except for the 4th one. I have no idea if this is legal or not, but any chance to watch Cosmos… Sagan was a master.

Update: the consensus is in, and the site is illegal, so I took down the link.
