A View From the Dark Side of the Moon, Courtesy of NASA (Scored by Pink Floyd)

YouTube Link

This video from the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio shows the phases of the moon as viewed from the "dark side" (a misnomer). Their simulation is as beautiful as it is intriguing. How amazing would it be to see the moon with the blue marble of Earth looming behind it?

But now, let's get down to serious, scientific biz: visit this link and follow the Daily Dot's instructions to the letter on how to sync NASA's video with Pink Floyd. As they said, "You're welcome!"

One of the Uncle Johns Bathroom Readers I just got has
an almost exact story. The guy there was mere minutes away from pulling it off. He pulled the tape away that was covering a little peep hole. Delivery guy just happened to look that way and saw his eyeball. GGGGGG

Gotta give them both an award for chutzpah if nothing else. GGGG

Some people pull similar ideas on boxes that are going to be sent by air. They don't realize the cargo holds aren't pressurized. What a horrible way to go.

Finally, I read of some guy that stowed away on an airliner in the wheel well for the nose wheel. Can't remember if he lived.

Usually wheel well travelers don't make it, but I suppose it's possible in the way maybe one out of a hundred Golden Gate jumpers makes it.

Anyway, about the box guy: it just feels good when somebody pulls a caper, even if they're bad folks. Like the people that robbed Harry Winston's. Heists!
