World Book? We had a set when I was a kid. Every year, you could buy a yearly update

Pretty sure that Neil deGrasse Tyson image is a photoshop of this original image.
Smaller cropped original below. Sorry. |

Just kidding. Good find. Looks like I wasn't the only one trying to wrap his head around the context of that (other) image.

Ahh, I still remember the first time I met the Mandelbrot set.
Awesome.

There's a new state law in Texas, which requires all schools to observe one minute of silence in the morning to commemorate Patriot's Day (9/11,) at least in every year where the date falls on a school day.

I thought that was a Porsche front end, but didn't know the model.

I'm not sure what the purpose of the car is. It's 4 door. It's not a sports car.
I've seen one or two on the road, so I know people are buying them. Maybe lawyers with kids. But not little kids, because they will just throw up in the back seat. Lawyers with kids in middle school. |

It was the first four door Porsche. And it's purpose is, it allows that lawyer to take his kids with him when he drives a Porsche, although, I don't know why he'd want to.
Limited top speed, 176 mph. I think. I'm not wild about that back end, but, that's a purty car.
