Sunset On Mars: Gumdrops For Your Eyeballs
NOTE: Big-ass version HERE in case you're in the market for a new wallpaper. Me? I'm in the market eating grapes so I don't have to pay for them.
Eye candy -- that's what I was getting at in the title. "Jesus, we're not stupid." Haha! Some of you totally are is the thing. This is a shot taken by the Mars Spirit rover in 2005 of what a sunset looks like on our neighbor to the east west further from the sun. It's been around (like a hussy!), so maybe you've seen it before. That's cool. What's NOT cool is racing to the comments to tell me you've seen it before (other people haven't, God!), it's old, and I suck at my job. That -- that's the kind of talk that hurts a blogger's feelings. Feelings, LOL! I haven't felt anything in years. HAVE AT IT YOU FESTERING CHOADS.

Holy shit it's a smiley face. This is a high-definition video (created using photographs) of the Mars rover Curiosity landing on the red planet. That's not it in the picture though, that's just the heat-shield being jettisoned. "The sign clearly said 'NO DUMPING'" I imagine ... / Continue →
