You Are Here (On Earth)

Posted by timothy on from the human-chauvinist dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "NY Times today has an essay about a map of the entire universe produced by two Princeton astronomers using a variety of data including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Its view begins with the Earth at the bottom and extends back almost to the Big Bang at the top, including such objects as the Sloan Great Wall, 1.37 billion light-years long. The map can be found here."

      Hillary Rodham Clinton
      is the sexiest woman alive:

      * Intelligence = Sexy. By this measure, Hillary may be the sexiest woman who EVER lived. After all, anybody who can turn a $5K investment into $100K is no chump.

      * Power = Sexy. Hillary wields her influence in a graceful, controlled way. But she knows she wasn't elected, and she recognizes the limits of her dominion.

      * Fame = Sexy. There's a life-sized Hillary cardboard cutout that I've got my eye on. As soon as they come out with the leather dominatrix dress-up accessories, I'm buyin' that sucker.

      * Looks = Sexy. Hey, she ain't chopped liver... and when she juts out her chin in that smoldering expression of defiance, doesn't it make you HARD/MOIST?!

      Let's face it -- Hillary's my dream girl.
