Title: Crazy new space discovery
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on October 08, 2009, 10:52:29 AM: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091007/twl-colossal-dust-ring-spotted-around-sa-3fd0ae9.html (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091007/twl-colossal-dust-ring-spotted-around-sa-3fd0ae9.html)

Sure we knew it had rings, but who woulda thought it had THAT big of a ring?

*edit*
Also, I'm sure all of you know how big space is, but it's still so humbling to see everything put into scale: Planets, Stars, Nebulae, Galaxies - Universe Size Comparison 2009 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FwCMnyWZDg#ws-hd)

Are you saying that no one can ever make fun of anything without making fun of himself? That's a little dramatic. I believe God gave us a sense of humor for a reason.

Even so, who made fun of God's creation? I assumed you were referring to me, but all I said was, "...but stupid!" and only in as little seriousness as possible.
