Happy Carl Sagan Day. It's his birthday -- he would have been 78 today. So go read 'Cosmos'. Then watch the TV series. Then go read and watch 'Contact' (the movie with Jodie Foster). Or just read the quote above, 'The Pale Blue Dot', in reference to the photo Voyager 1 took of earth from 3.7-billion miles away, at Sagan's request. Dammit, can we please just hold hands and sing Kumbaya and forget all our differences? For Carl?

Thanks to everyone who sent this, cosmos at the bar for everybody! Except me, I don't drink pink drinks (yes I do too I love them!).
