Enceladus
Shot of Saturn’s sixth largest moon taken by Cassini on 11/30/2010 at a distance of 66,00km. This picture depicts the moon’s liquid eruptions being backlit by light from the sun. Good morning, Enceladus!

Favorite… moon… ever.  Sorry Europa and Luna.

Weird how some of the photos that actually are very poorly taken are sometimes the ones that come out looking the coolest.

I believe the Houston airport was named after Bush 41 (George Herbert Walker), largely because being greeted by a statue of 43 with a big banner saying Mission Accomplished would have proven somewhat frustrating when you find out that your bags were sent to Cleveland.

The waffles may have been Texas-shaped… but they really weren’t any larger than waffles one can get anywhere else in the States.

Out west by Galway and the Ring of Fire.  Cows were just chillin’ in the street.  It was all well and good.  Ireland, sometime in July 2003.

This is what they call Poland Spring in Texas.  Tasted like dueling banjos.

I do believe this is the little red lighthouse from the West Wing episode “The Indians in the Lobby.”  Very cool.  Not sure I’ve ever run or even driven by it in a position to really notice.

Follow Friday - FakeMTA on Twitter

Perhaps one of the finest concepts for a humor Twitter account I’ve come across is this fake NYC MTA account.  There are a few others out there, some well known (and with book deals… looking at you with envy there Shit My Dad Says).  But few are as well crafted as this.

Anyways, I suggest you give them a follow @FakeMTA.

And while you’re at it, follow me @WhenItStrikesMe and @Quotably.
