@ Guest

Language, friend, language !

What’s wrong with me is that I’m a middle-aged American who’s been lied to far too many times to believe anything that didn’t happen right in my lap.

@ Johnny Cat

My disbelief in “photographic evidence” started with my first copy of Photoshop in the Eighties. That sheep thing was pretty cool, though.

I blame that LG sheep herding commercial. It fooled a lot of people, so cynicism prevails. It’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf, all over again.

Sorry but what the fuck is wrong with you?

Where would this great nation be without doubt? (cue “Battle Hymn of the Republic”)

What if we just blindly believed that Saddam Hussein had WMD’s, or that Cheerios cures heart disease? That “one size fits all”, “the check’s in the mail’, or “I won’t blank in your mouth”?

Maybe all Argentinians ARE corrupt, all Muslims ARE wife beaters, and those ARE Pam Anderson’s real breasts ?

NEVER, I say, and I’m proud to live in the greatest free country in the world, united under the banner: “Your mileage may vary !”

I would tend to believe it, but it`s pretty sad when we have to wade through a lot of doubt first.

@ Ajan

I can’t trust things like this anymore, either.
I’d like to hope it’s a real pic, but, hell, I could do that at home…

Nice..
Won’t be surprised if someone comes up with another picture of a planet with authentic Photoshop work

After seeing spectacular science photo’s like these, ya have to wonder how the deluded religious flunkies can continue with their mythical psycho babble.

Saw the close-up on ABC News tonight, and it was quite humbling. Kudos to Legault!

That is an astonishing photo.

For more fun over the next few days (morning in the US), check the live NASA TV feed for spacewalks and a much closer view of that same telescope you may have heard of.
