I am guessing that there must be some significance to that picture, but I don't have a clue what.

Okay, well I guess that explains the picture, but it still does not explain why Ed posted it out of the blue without explanation.

DrStraw, A NASA spacecraft has recently flown past the dwarf planet of Pluto (which starts with a P) and taken pictures. It was in most mainstream media news outlets, but perhaps they are not to be trusted? ;-)

Ah, so that's it! But that photo was not of Pluto so it totally confused me. I don't pay much attention to all that NASA stuff. They have crafts flying all over so it is kind routine. I don't read the MSM anyway and have been way to busy this last two weeks to spend much time reading the real media.

If you look carefully, you'll see it's a composite of the Death Star and Pluto.

The OP, EdLee, made a brilliant move. This was followed by some questionable replies, but the game goes on.

Cheers,
