Stale is an amazing cook and I've always had fun at these things meeting forumers. And since SCAD is in Georgia, I know at least some of you blokes can make the trip.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I think if I get sent to Hell after I die, my ironic punishment is going to be having to explain all the mediocre throwaway jokes I've made throughout my life to dull-witted, finicky morons for all eternity.
What do fighter pilots have to do with dogfights, class? Anyone? Just raise your hand if you think you've got it.
Actually bacon...you're already dead. Welcome to the afterlife. You never caught that flight. Is it all coming back to you now? The grandma with the walker? The car accident? The eggplant allergy?
Bacon I had a dream about you the other night. For some reason I was on the run from the FBI, and you and Cake were the agents they sent after me. You had finally tracked me down to a hotel, but you and Cake had lost your badges somehow so you couldn't get them to shut down the building to smoke me out. Then you spotted me as I was leaving, and chased me outside, but you lost me because there was a parade going past.

You and Cake were very upset
So was I the straight-laced by the books agent, or the loose cannon doesn't play by the rules agent?
I'm also curious as to whether your subconscious portrayed me as what I actually look like, or as my cartoon avatar. I would guess the latter, just because- presuming you haven't printed out my picture and nailed it to your stalker wall- you see the avatar way more often in association with my posts.

Actually, you were the paranoid conspiracy theorist agent and cake was the common-sense agent.
You were both kind of bumbling but likable antagonists.
You looked like a realistic version of your avatar, but your hat was black to match your suit. Cake was sort of a vague shifting mass that represented the abstract idea of Cake, which I imagine made him difficult to work with.

Odd, I also had a dream last night about AC forumers. Various AC forumers were all popping up in Alabama for whatever reason (i.e. Kochi lived in Birmingham, bombsy drove a truck, Lexxy was driving across America, and Night Dragon was helping repair Bombsy's truck and Lexxy's broken car.), and I kept telling them to come to Stale's cookout weekend! And so I made the previous post, because if a dream tells you to do something you do it.

So basically I was kind of dressed up as if I were doing undercover work trying to infiltrate the Blues Brothers?
Good morning AC! What's the story behind that picture cakemiks?
It's Asha Greyjoy from the Song of Ice and Fire series of novels by George RR Martin. There isn't a whole lot of story more than that. We really just shoehorned the image into being her because the idea we were coming up with for a cool picture started sounding so much like her.
as he states in the article, this has nothing to do with dark matter:
As it happens, we know that when the Universe was young, about a quarter the age it is now, star formation was going on at a much higher rate on average than it does now. So astronomers figured, hey, why not do searches for distant galaxies using Lyman alpha? They should pump it out, and make them easy to see.
So they looked. And to their surprise, they only found about 10% of the galaxies they predicted they should!
This has been a problem for some time. But it’s not anymore: a recent experiment by astronomers shows that the galaxies are there, but they’re hidden!
What they did is look in one part of the sky, using the GOODS South field (part of which is pictured above), trying to find Lyman alpha emitting galaxies. Then they looked at the same region, but looked instead for H alpha, the line emitted when an electron jumps down from the third energy level to the second. And guess what they found: tons of galaxies!
The problem, they surmised, is that the galaxies are actually there and emitting Lyman alpha. But before that ultraviolet light can get out of one of those galaxies, it gets reabsorbed by gas inside the galaxy itself. We never see it.
But H alpha can more easily escape the galaxies once it’s produced. For one thing, it’s red light, and that can penetrate the gas and dust better than the ultraviolet Lyman alpha light can. There are other more complicated reasons as well, but the point is, the galaxies were simply hidden from us before, but not anymore. By extrapolating their results, it looks like they found 90% of the distant Universe!

Yes......dream.......<shifty eyes>
Actually at school we used to have this fake buddy cop movie thing starring my buddy Mike and I (he did that painting I just posted). It was called Schutter and Hayes, and in the last move "Outback and Out for Blood" we had to go to Australia to stop a notorious drug lord. These movies are really just an excuse for me to put together an awesome soundtrack of mostly 80s music. But I also write a short script/plot to go along with it.
Oddly in Schutter & Hayes I was also a vague shifting mass that represented the abstract idea of myself.

I have a sneaking suspicion that when we actually do figure out all the complexities of the universe's operations, it will all be infinitely more mundane than we sometimes make it out to be.
I am sorry I didn't mean to say we had an actual film. I just meant there was a running joke that Mike and I were a buddy cop team and we had fake soundtracks for movies that did not exist. I wish there had been an actual film.
Scosglen if I get tired of it in the near future I will give you access.

Mundane in the way that it isn't a mystery anymore. I wonder if humans will possibly live long enough to discover "all the complexities" of our universe. Seems like that might take a while... but what do I know? I'm not a scientist.
Ha I think I remember that from the gangbunch forums. The train seems to have not noticed us.
Also Tam, please tell me what the hell that all means in 2 sentences.
Looking at two galaxies, side by side, it means that the farther one is older, due to the time that it takes light to reach us. In essence, finding these galaxies means more insight as to what the earliest stages of the universe were like.

So, by "distant universe", do they mean in our section of the universe, or past the center of the universe?

We have discovered a massive amount of new galaxies - with science!
