Today on the Dairy: Bras, twins, and space!

Amateur astronomer Thierry Legault (which by the way is the coolest name ever) captured these images of the Hubble rescue mission silhouetted against the sun. These pictures made me double check that I can still breathe properly…so proceed with awe and caution.
See the full sized pictures, and a technical run-down of how he captured these images (if you’re into that kind of thing) over at Gizmodo.

In today’s category of “makes me inexplicably full of rage”, we have the countdown bra! Designed for “marriage-minded” women, so they can count down to their happy day. It even features a special slot for the wedding ring – when inserted, the bra plays “The Wedding March”.
But what I want to know is…what happens if you get to zero, and there’s no ring? Do you EXPLODE? Because that might change my mind about the whole thing.

Cthulhu Ski Mask - Made of Awesome
Guest post by Zane!
I am a lover of all things Cthulhu, especially things that make the Great Old One seem especially cuddly. Hence, I deem this crocheted Cthulhu ski mask FUCKING AWESOME.
This lucky lad convinced his lady to crochet this for him for a costume party. Here’s hoping he realizes that he has the best. wife. ever.

Man's Twin Bursts Out Of His Stomach
Guest post by Zane!
The Sun is reporting that 30 year old Gavin Hyatt “birthed” his twin through his bellybutton.
“In a scene echoing the horror movie Alien, Gavin staggered into his GP’s surgery bleeding from his belly button.
His stunned GP Dr. Joe Santos said: “It was like something from Alien. I didn’t believe Gavin when he said something was coming out of his belly button until I saw him.”
Medics said the growth was a parasitic twin — Gavin’s identical brother who died in the womb early in their mum’s pregnancy.”
I can’t decide whether this is awesome or just disgusting.
Decide for yourself - read the whole terrifying article here.

Only 10 days until the 2nd ever American Nerd Day! You can go read up on the history of Nerd Day (or Geek Day) over at wikipedia. But I thought I’d do us all a favor and post the Nerd Pride Day manifesto here.
Rights:
1. The right to be even nerdier.
2. The right to not leave your house.
3. The right to not have a significant other and to be a virgin.
4. The right to not like football or any other sport.
5. The right to associate with other nerds.
6. The right to have few friends (or none at all).
7. The right to have all the nerdy friends that you want.
8. The right to not be “in-style.”
9. The right to be overweight and have poor eyesight.
10. The right to show off your nerdiness.
11. The right to take over the world.
Responsibilities:
1. Be a nerd, no matter what.
2. Try and be nerdier than anyone else.
3. If there is a discussion about something nerdy, you must give your opinion.
4. Save any and all nerdy things you have.
5. Do everything you can to show off your nerdy stuff as though it were a “museum of nerdiness.”
6. Don’t be a generalized nerd. You must specialize in something.
7. Attend every nerdy movie on opening night and buy every nerdy book before anyone else.
8. Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related t-shirt, all the better.
9. Don’t waste your time on anything not related to nerddom.
10. Try to take over the world!
Love it.
The Biggest Black Hole In The Universe
Guest post by Zane!
If seeing the silhouette of the hubble rescue mission against the sun made me feel small, reading about the biggest black hole ever makes me feel utterly insignicant. Mostly because it is apparently the size of 18 BILLION SUNS.
Also, making the scariest thing I can think of seem kind of cute, apparently the biggest black hole ever has a cute little brother in its orbit! Apparently this whole mess is pretty damn far from us, which is good news. But still, the whole thing freaks me the fuck out. Space, man. It’s crazy.
