Heh. Nice. But if you'd asked me, the first thing I'd've said would've been "jellyfish."

It does look rather more like a jellyfish, actually...

As I understand it, none of those nebulas or any of that other space stuff is ever really colored like that in... well, "real life". They spruce it up on computers, or something.

That's actually what I was thinking of when you mentioned sprucing up. I don't think NASA or whoever recolor their photos before releasing them; that must've been some weiner with Photoshop.

Metriods practically are jellyfish.

It probably does look like a jellyfish to a regular person, but I've played through "Metroid 2" and "3" so many times in the past 10 years that I have Metroids ingrained in my brain.  Also to me it looks like it has those teeth (or whatever they are) that Metroids have, and doesn't have those skinny dangly tentacles that most jellyfish have.

Incidentally, my friend says he can see Mario's face in it, too.

As I understand it, colors in pictures of nebulae are enhanced, but not randomly selected.  The colors of stars and gas are based on their chemistry.  Closer nebulae can be seen with faint colors, and the levels of those are greatly increased for photos in books, magazines etc.  Our instruments can't see any color in further nebulae, so colors are added based on their known or hypothetical chemical compositions, giving an impression of what they might look like (again, with the contrast turned up).  

Edit: I should probably post where I found the picture. - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080825.html

^ Yeah, that's it.

Besides, there is no color without light and, obviously, space is pretty dark in most places.

They have telescopes that track what they want to take pictures of, and use cameras with really, really long exposure times.

To me, it vaguely looks like a Toad with sunglasses screaming. I guess it's right for him to scream, since he is missing his body.

You can, but that particular post was of rather low content. Going by your posting history it seems that you post more simply to say something, rather than posting when you have something to say.

I get tired of internet humor bigots. Don't discriminate funniness based on where a joke came from. I mean, yes, some memes do get old, but it's not like anyone's spamming people with Captain Obvious (or any other such fad, for that matter) around here.

I think the point ShadowBrain was trying to make is that you should go by whether the jokes are funny or not, not which site they came from.  If that's not the point he's trying to make, it's certainly the one I'm trying to make.
