Humans? Potentially intelligent? Ha! These astronomers and their flights of fancy…
Humans as a group might not be too terribly intelligent, but there are a few bright sparks that serve to demonstrate the potential which the vast majority of the population do not live up to.
I’m sure I’ve seen that picture before … somewhere …

Please enjoy your stay on Planet Earth.
I really liked this part.
All the bustle without the hustle?
djm
Thank you! What a beautiful orb!
(What’s that wonderful whistling sound?)
…That’ll be the gas escaping…
Something like that, yes.
OH NO, a bustle dress!!! I see these pictures now and I immediately think of all that is involved in that garb.
I see these pictures now and I immediately think, “What a strange bum she must have!”

I’ve been there!
Steatopygous rather than callipygous.
Perhaps you’d like to be a little more specific (he said, tentatively).
Really!
I’ve always liked the little symbol for the earth.
Much easier to draw and would be much easier
to make into a flagthan the blue marble.
Sorry, I.D.10-t, but I can’t help but think that
looks more like a targeting device.

It seems Seurat broke the code…!
Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin’ world go round
Oh dear . I hadn’t realized how tantalizing bustles were----no wonder they wore them.
Anyway, my liking of the use of that picture with the phrase “Please enjoy your stay on Planet Earth.” really, as I’m sure everyone must know, had nothing to do with the bustles, lovely as they are. It was just that the picture is so perfect, so stylized, so idyllic, so unlike a typical day on Earth—it is a very still slice of a once or twice in a lifetime day on Earth and one probably not to be encountered by a tourist passing through, if you see what I mean. I guess it is sort of funny because it is a typical travel brochure perfection sort of picture. And yet it isn’t false, because such beauty does exist.
Just do a search of past posts with the key words Verp Tlethl in them, that should explain everything.
