Death Note is really awesome Pep. Best storytelling from an anime I've ever seen.

I'm on my iPad so I can't post pics on here. I'll show you guys later what I have.

Yeah, the tardis from Doctor Who. I don't know what's happening to it exactly, but it looks kind of awesome. Is it blowing up?

No, it's exploding. It's from the episode The Pandorica Opens. Vincent Van Gogh had a vision of the Tardis blowing up and painted it.

It's not actually a Van Gogh. Doctor Who is not that old. But in the show he painted it. There is an episode in season 5 called Vincent and The Doctor where he goes back and helps Van Gogh fight an alien monster. Then he paints this before he kills himself and River finds it like way in the future.

Doctor Who is not that old. lol. You wrote that as if I am six.

I thought it didn't have enough brush strokes in the right places, and too few in others, to be a real Van Gogh, plus, being a little off subject matter wise. But I thought perhaps it was and they incorporated into a story line or something.

It was kind of a joke because Doctor Who is pretty fucking old. Just not that old. It's been on for almost 50 years.

i think most of those are colored in. as i think i understand it, we don't know their color per se because the telescope takes black and white images but we base the coloring off of the measured spectrum of light provided by the object photographed.

And people think there is no beauty in what can be measured and imagined by scientific facts.

I don't know why, but for some reason, that picture and the words "I think" bring to mind Déscartes. I think it's appropriate. Don't know why I never thought of that before.
