Dec 8 2008Eye Candy: Aurora Borealis From Space
This is a time-lapse video made of still images by astronaut Don Pettit aboard the International Space Station. It shows the Aurora Borealis in all its auroral beauty -- from space. And while it's not THE most beautiful thing I've ever seen, it's second only to the boobs I saw yesterday.
Thanks to Larry, who apologizes for saying Dan stinks but will still see him on the hike tomorrow rain or shine. Just be careful guys, and don't get f***ed by any bears.

Nice, but someone should have added a nice bit of accompaniment music.

FAKE!!!
That was totally CG! Plus it's upsdie down. You know its fake because we're all not falling into space.
Duh!

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja went undercover to thwart KAOS' plans.

Dan, you jackass... you know Christian can see your comments, right? Let's schedule the hike for Sunday instead. I'm honestly not trying to keep him from coming.

Daisy. Don't get smart with us. Just stick to your shtick.
13. dan - December 8, 2008 1:40 PM
um.. this is the really real dan.
larry scheduled the hike, not me. I think he has a problem with christian. I like christian. I want to have his babies.
PS Larry and Mr GW, I bought a lady speed stick, so I'm all set to smell pretty tomorrow.

Larry, Dan, Christian,
When you do go hiking, dont stop when you get to the edge of the cliff. Just keep going and do use a favor.
Aurora Borealis kicks ass.

This reminds me of the ending of Final Fantasy VII, when the lifestream gathers around the planet

Christian, I'm sorry I scheduled the hike when you were working. Dan has been staring at my ass and rubbing his balls all morning and its freakin me out a little.
