Cassini Shows Close Up of Iapetus

Posted by michael on from the looks-rocky dept.

dazza101 writes "The Cassini spacecraft passed within 72,000 kms of the Saturn moon Iapetus yesterday, taking a series of spectacular images of this intriguing moons rugged surface. An excellent prelude to what promises to be one of the major stories of the new year, the plunge of the Huygens probe into Titan's atmosphere on January 24."

    is how good of waffles they make. Don't make them soggy, make them crispy. Substitute part of the flour for cornstarch and whip the egg white until white and glossy, then fold in.

    Sorry I just spent my mod points, or I'd try and correct a couple mod's complete lack of humor.
    Admittedly it wasn't very clever, and I could see not finding it funny. But it obviously was an attempt at humor, and close enough to make the off-topic mod debate-able at best.
    Since I've spent my mod points I'll just leave this off-topic post instead.
