Florida Man Accused Of Throwing Galaxies At Teenagers

OH NOES LOOK OUT
Pretty much the coolest thing humankind has ever built (sorry, pyramids), the recently refurbished Hubble Telescope, has sent back more awe-inspiring pictures from space this week. This one here is what it looks like when galaxies collide.

Because I like a nice "this thing looks like this thing" post (because I'm simple-minded and easily amused), I've been searching the internet for a suitable story to connect to the idea of "world's collide." Easy-peasy, right? You'd think there'd be something of at least a little interest. But Jay-Z's appearance on Letterman last night was lame and filled with forced laughter. I don't like the Grizzly Bear song featuring Michael McDonald as much some other people. (Maybe it'll grow on me?) And Ellen Degeneres replacing Paula Abdul as a judge on American Idol doesn't feel so much like "colliding" as it does a backward career step.

But what do I know? Look at those galaxies. (Galaxies! Entire galaxies, there on my computer screen!) Isn't it crazy how much they look like jellyfish? Wait. Ah ha! "A 41-year-old man was arrested on Monday at at Madeira Beach after witnesses said he repeatedly pretended to drown, then allegedly began tossing jellyfish at nearby teenagers." There we go.

Gorgeous photos. It's like art, only, you know, in space.

Thanks, Jupiter, for taking the asteroid hit for us. Owe you one, dude.

The oddest grouping of tags I have ever seen.
