Out-of-the-box recycling

I love people who think creatively. This image just tickled me pink.



I'm assuming it's not a Photoshop job, because it looks feasible and easy to construct.

Perhaps my favorite Skiffy story

Along with The Ugly Little Boy, this story by the revered Dr. Isaac Asimov probably rates as my favorite story from the realm of Science Fiction. It makes me laugh and cry together, every time I read it.

My experience of the Good Doctor, perhaps one of the world's best known secular humanists, is that even while holding strictly to the doctrine of proof through empirical evidence, he yearned within his heart for something greater than himself. This story, more than any other, demonstrates the hoped-for transcendence of Man to a higher state.
