Can you look at this and not snicker?

If so, you’re probably on the wrong blog.

I just found this incredibly hilarious.

Speaking of thought processes that I don’t understand, can anyone explain this to me?

The worst part, for me, is that I’m a compulsive reader. If you have a bumper sticker with small print, I will tailgate you just to figure out what it says. I have gotten into trouble before for staring an a woman’s chest, but I was really just trying to read her t-shirt. If I saw this peaking out from a pair of low-rise jeans, well …

From the GodBlock Website:

GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions. When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.

For five extra points, explain that analogy.

This is an early result from six months of work from the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Planck telescope – a map of the oldest light visible from Earth orbit.

I’m going to put my hand up and admit right now that I have no idea how to interpret that image – but I still find it incredibly exciting to think that it represents light that was emitted just 380,000 years after the big-bang.

I’d love to know if this was planned.

I promise never to complain about the crying baby above us again.
