I especially love the image of the night sky over New York City. Enjoy:

In fact, they’re willing to say that the odds are 1024-to-1 AGAINST life originating on the planet.

Meanwhile, NY Times op-ed writer John Tierney says he’s willing to buy Oxford philosophy professor Nick Bossom’s theory that there’s a 20% chance we’re actually all just part of a giant computer simulation a la “The Matrix”.

WHOOOOAAA! Duuuuuuude!
