That’s not a crab, that’s a fucking nebula.
I demand that profound quotes be posted in this thread to enhance the naturally philosophical atmosphere inherent in such a thing as this which Steve has presented. I will begin.
<BLOCKQUOTE>How you can win the population for war: At first, the statesman will invent cheap lying,
that impute the guilt of the attacked nation, and each person will be happy over this deceit,
that calm the conscience. It will study it detailed and refuse to test arguments of the other opinion.
So he will convince step for step even therefrom that the war is just and thank
God, that he, after this process of grotesque even deceit, can sleep better:</BLOCKQUOTE><P align=“right”>Mark Twain</P>

It’s a hermit crab, you jerks!
Also known as the Crab Nebula, I suppose.
Ba Dum Pish.
That’s no moon…
I didn’t say celestial body you overgrown barnacle!

You’re lucky that’s only a Princess Bride quote.
Oooo. Pretty.
Who built the seven gates of Thebes?
The books are filled with the names of kings.
Was it kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed,
Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima’s houses,
The city glittering with gold, lived those who built it?
In the evening, when the Chinese wall was finished
Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome
Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Byzantium lives in a song,
Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in the Atlantis of legend
The night the sea rushed in,
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves.
Young Alexander conqured India.
He alone?Caesar beat the Gauls,
Was there not even a cook in this army?
Philiph of Spain wept as his fleet
Was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears.
Frederick the Great triumphed in the Seven Years War. Who
Triumphed with him?Each page a victory,
At whose expensive the victory ball?Every ten years a great man,
Who paid the piper?So many particulars.
So many questions.
