![]() http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/04/14/space.hand Now a serious question: the CNN text does not make clear the distinction between the blue hand and the red object. Please explain them. What do they mean by "1700 years old"? Is that the distance from Earth? TIA, -Ramon |

The religious fruitcakes will interpret anything and everything as an omen,
or as proof of, the existence of some Gawd to whom they enslaved themselves. They also see the virgin Mary at every corner and also see statues weep and lastly, they are convinced it is Jebus' face on the shroud of Turin, which has been conclusively carbon dated to be much to new for that unlikely event. Of course, when your superstitions are threatened, decry the accuracy of carbon dating.

I bet we could find a 56 Buick convertible surrounded by all sorts of fancy star and cosmic stuff, if we only looked long and hard enough and took the time to artificial colorize and stack everything in order to suit. ~ BG |
