I saw something that really ticked me off this afternoon on the mall. Father and daughter were walking their two labs, black and chocolate, on the mall. The black lab is 10 months old (puppy or no?), and while they are walking in the middle of the mall the black lab just starts peeing as he/she walks, the owner (father) looks back and just keeps walking with the dog. Curb your effing DOG!
This is the culprit:
That larger than life sign clearly says clean up after your dog, you jerk. That puppy put like half a gallon of pee in the middle of the downtown mall. How effing rude! If you see the owner, yell at him. I am tired of dog owners that have no control of their pets. Maybe Scowly will pee on you next time.

Hubble Space Telescope recently released a group of 59 images of galaxies colliding for its 18th anniversary. The images are pretty cool, but one struck me as rather sexual.
Hubba Hubba!
As described:
Arp 148 is the staggering aftermath of an encounter between two galaxies, resulting in a ring-shaped galaxy and a long-tailed companion. The collision between the two parent galaxies produced a shockwave effect that first drew matter into the center and then caused it to propagate outwards in a ring. The elongated companion perpendicular to the ring suggests that Arp 148 is a unique snapshot of an ongoing collision. Infrared observations reveal a strong obscuration region that appears as a dark dust lane across the nucleus in optical light. Arp 148 is nicknamed Mayall s object and is located in the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, approximately 500 million light-years away. This interacting pair of galaxies is included in Arp’s catalog of peculiar galaxies as number 148.
