“Keelhaulenate”. It took me a few moments to get that one – funny!

You know if you rotate the finger 90 degrees counterclockwise or so, you get what looks like the profile of FDR to some extent, Ghostbusters-wise.

@10. RWaltz : “I definitely see Mohammed in there.”

Why Mohammad, how do you know what he looks like – and, um, which Mohammad?

(Pretty sure I read somewhere that its the world’s most common human “Christian” name. )

Hah! I did a post on this nearly four years ago! (I just submitted it, with all the photos, to the contest.)

Hubble always makes me wish I hadn’t been born for at least a few more thousand years or more, then I remember that I would have missed Amy Mainzer’s big brown mesmerizing eyes.

I’ve always referred to it as the “Finger of God” myself.

I didn’t see the finger, I saw a wisp of smoke coming from the nostrils of a green headed dragon.

I like the “finger picture”. I sometimes use it on the web if someone p***** me off.
