13.1.11

this is bullshit.

UGH. This is such a haze.


Some super bored astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates associated with each sign to accommodate shifts in the Earth's axis. HUH? Exactly.

Here is the new zodiac, which is total shit for brains:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year ( ALSO STUPID - that sounds like the coolest sign yet!)
A shot at an explanation from the Minnesota Planetarium Society, who is responsible for this mess:
"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," said Parke Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society.

SO. This means I have lived my entire life as an Aries, which, if you know me i AM AN ARIES, and now I am supposed to be Pisces!?!?! I mean, i LOVE me some Pisces but I refuse to be one. I am sorry.

My world is crumbling around me.

calling all intergalactic chubby chaser baby daddys!



There is a blob in outer space. AND IT IS ALIVE AND LONELY!


New photos from the Hubble Telescope recently released by NASA show a green blob, about the same size as our very own Milky Way GALAXY. The blob creature is GIVING BIRTH to new stars, considered young at a few million years old in remote parts of the galaxy where stars dont normally form. 


FUCKING. AWESOME. 


The pressure that creates the stars causes parts of the blob to collapse which makes it appear ALLLIIIVVEEEE. 


Bill Keel, the astronomer who explained the phenomenon, said that parts of the blob are collapsing and that pressure makes "very lonely newborn stars" that are "in the middle of nowhere."


Here is a real picture of the glorious blob:
