Stars and Stripes, as Seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - Neatorama

This one fits today's Independence Day celebration to a tee: You are looking at the remnant of a stellar explosion that occurred more than 1,000 years ago. The red stripe, called the SN 1006 Supernova Remnant, is actually a ribbon of gas that floats in our galaxy as captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope: Link - via Newslite.tv

Looks like that ribbon from Star Trek Generations.

One day I looked in the toilet bowl to admire my feat. There float a mushy poop of mine that resembled the Island of Iwo Jima. Then along came this little house fly. It landed atop Mount Suribachi! A single teardrop rolled down my face.

Hmm, I suspect that fly's to blame for my dysentery.

Whoa, this must be proof that the universe was created specifically for the good ol' USofA. It's actually made up of countless tiny american flags. The kind they top off your greasy restaurant burger with. That stellar explosion of flags actually occurred on a 4th of July over a millennia ago. In fact, they should rename that ribbon SOT 1006 for "Support Our Troops".
