Hamburger galaxy my ass. Just a speck on the spot on the tail of a frog on a knot on a branch on a limb on a log in a hole on the bottom of the sea. Wasn't it that old German, think his name was Einstein, who said, "I could be bounded in a nutshell and call myself king of infinite space."
It really does resemble a good old-fashioned greasy cheeseburger on a [somewhat flattened] bun –– a tasty treat you can't get anymore. Hamburger meat today has no flavor –– or bad flavor z--, because the Food Police decided that animal fat was bad for our health. PHOOEY! .
Sorry, but I see no bagel there. Bagels are puffy, crusty, chewy medium-brown things with a hole in the middle.
Bagels are best when toasted, coated thickly with cream cheese, thin slices of smoked salmon and a thin slice of red onion, and maybe a wee bit of lettuce. YUM!
FORGET flavored bagels, rye, whole wheat, pumpernickel, cinnamon-raisin and all that crap. Bagels cease to BE bagels once they've been moneyed around with like that.
Flavored bagels are as outrageous as corned beef and cabbage, liverwurst and mustard, or apples and cinnamon on PIZZA. YUCK!
We all love things that we are told repeatedly are bad for us. I've often wondered why, but fund a satisfactory answer. But the lady who said many years ago, "Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening," was right on the beam.
Why it escaped me yesterday, I don't know. Optical Illusions can be great fun, but but more often than not they often perplexing.
Since we human beings and all sign creatures on earth probably appear almost as small as sub-atomic particles in The Great Scheme, do you ever wonder if some incredible race of giants isn't "studying" OUR tiny universe which THEY have managed to capture and place in their version of a terrarium or goldfish bowl?
FT, Like Carl Sagan, I believe it's quite possible that the scale of everything extends to infinity in both directions up and down. No beginning, No end.
Forgot to click on image while here yesterday. After careful measurements with the seldom used Brobdingnagian scale I found this unique speck to be a tad larger than I originally suspected.
I love bagels and that's my birthday...And I LOVE hamburgers so I guess this is my favorite..galaxy!? !!

ReplyDeleteRon, Yea, not even a spec on a spec on a spec.

FT, Bagles are concentrated Carbs to me. I avoid them like the plague.
DeleteI do like a greasy cheeseburger though!

Yep, if it tastes good spit it out. Problem is there are going to be a lot of people dying of nothing at some point.
DeleteHey! Don't forget Buckwheat's Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Buckwheat ! :)
DeleteHow many galactic cows had to be butchered for this macabre display!?... none? just when I was getting hungry too.
ReplyDeleteDaBlade, the cows were brought in through the black hole from another universe. Hope they don't find out.
DeleteHey! I can see the Bagel Effect today.

DeleteGood post.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

ReplyDeleteRon, as Einstein would say It's all relative.
DeleteKind of like the difference between a firecracker and a nuke----effectiveness depends on the size of the target.
ReplyDeleteExactly, and we have some big targets these days.
