Mystery Spot on Jupiter Baffles Astronomers

seanmeister writes "From Space.com: "Astronomers have spotted a strange, obvious and inexplicable black spot near the equator of Jupiter. A picture of the object is circling this planet electronically as researchers scratch their heads about what they've found. A second image, taken on another day by a different photographer, contains a similar looking spot. As of early today, the second image had deepened the mystery. Some astronomers were at first puzzled over whether the two photos show the same thing or not. As it turns out, they do not." I, for one, welcome our new monolith overlords!"

An excellent example of bullshit moderation....

The parent is both clever and funny, but only if you live on the west coast and see the funky little Mystery Spot signs beside the roads.

Moderators, just because you don't understand a metaphore or reference, doesn't mean it's not funny. And funny is *NOT* off-topic.

We could certainly use a lot less of the "I don't understand it so it must be off-topic" moderations.
