I often post interesting or amusing things on here that I find on the internet. But only if they are interesting or amusing! No second rate tat here!
But every now and again, they are just plain genius. I was sent this Youtube clip through Facebook. I get sent a lot of crap, but it was a trusted source (thanks Jon), so I watched it.
Sheer genius, even if the creator obviously has too much time on his hands! lol

The Pale Blue Dot
"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan, 11th February 1996
