Awesome space picture. →[More:]NASA has just released an amazing picture taken from the Hubble telescope which appears to show, incredibly, the back of a black hole. It's utterly astounding. It's been called the Cuniculus Foramen (my Latin is poor, so I can't translate, but I'm sure someone'll know what it means in English).

I was thinking more of the other end of the back of a black hole.

Ok...that's one of the freakier things I've seen. Logistically speaking, how does one actually paint a cat's butt?

With Photoshop, LF.
