Micky Mouse in Mercury!!

Can you find the hidden Micky?



Mickey Mouse Spotted on Mercury!
This scene is to the northwest of the recently named crater Magritte, in Mercury’s south. The image is not map projected; the larger crater actually sits to the north of the two smaller ones. The shadowing helps define the striking “Mickey Mouse” resemblance, created by the accumulation of craters over Mercury’s long geologic history.
This image was acquired as part of MDIS’s high-incidence-angle base map, a major mapping activity in MESSENGER’s extended mission. High incidence angles, achieved when the Sun is near the horizon, result in long shadows that accentuate the small-scale topography of geologic features.

Lazy thief.


A lazy burglar who was spared jail begged a judge to send him to prison because meeting with his probation officer disturbed his sleep.  Kierran Batchelor, 21, was originally handed a suspended sentence and supervision order after he broke into two houses in February.  But weeks after walking free from court he was back before a judge after missing his daily meetings with his probation officer.  Shameless Batchelor told the judge he failed to attend the meetings because they were too early in the morning - despite being at 10am.  Recorder David Herbert told Batchelor he was willing to give him a second chance when he appeared at Coventry Crown Court on Friday.  But astonishingly, Batchelor was jailed after he begged to be sent to prison so he could catch up on sleep.

Incredible what some people are willing to do. So they go to jail, to sleep?

Word of Comfort

All I can say, that even though I disagree with Calvin in so many things, it is good to see him used by the Lord to bring to me a word of comfort and hope:


The design of the Lord is to exercise the patience of his servant by adversity; Satan endeavours to drive him to despair-  John Calvin

Different answers for that dreaded message, all with a religious tone, or not.

This man should be sterilised so he never has another child

All over the world, if a parent does such a thing, he or she should be sterilised so they don't bring anymore children to the world to be abused by their own parents:

This is the horrifying moment a father dangled his young girl from a sixth storey window following an argument with his wife in China.
The man’s neighbours called police at around 10.30 in the morning after spotting him sitting on the ledge of his apartment window, holding his three-year-old daughter with one hand.
It’s believed the stand-off was sparked following an argument with his wife.
So, fight with the wife, take it out on the children. The same goes to wives, who after a fight with the husband, take it out on their own flesh and blood.


The couple had reportedly only recently moved to the new apartment in China's Guangdong province.
The man occasionally supported his daughter with one foot, but for the most part simply held her with one hand.
Emergency services arrived on the scene, with firefighters setting up an air cushion beneath the girl, while police made their way inside.
They attempted to reason with the man, but then rushed at him and pulled the girl inside.
The man was arrested by police, it’s believed he was under the influence of drugs at the time. 

Under the influence of whatever or not, this man is guilty of putting the life of his daughter in danger, and should be made an example of so others may take a hard look if they contemplate doing such a thing to their children.

Total depravity.

For those those who still say that gay marriage or gay rights won't affect others...


The New Mexico Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling that a professional photographer who refused to take pictures of a gay couple's commitment ceremony violated state anti-discrimination laws.  The Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/JSAdE5 ) reports the court agreed on Thursday with a previous ruling, ruling the photo studio is considered public, similar to a restaurant or store.  The New Mexico Human Rights Commission ruled in 2008 that Elane Photography violated the state Human Rights Act by discriminating against Vanessa Willock on the basis of sexual orientation. The photography studio says its refusal was not an act of discrimination, but a reflection of the owners' religious and moral beliefs.
So next time somebody tells you that your moral and religious won't be trampled if gay marriage or "marriage equality" comes into place, just don't believe them. They know what we know, yet, they want to play blind to the truth that those who object, will be silenced, prosecuted, jailed, etc. 

This the reasoning of the judges:
The studio asked hypothetically whether an African-American photographer would be required to photograph a Ku Klux Klan rally.The court responded: "The Ku Klux Klan is not a protected class. Sexual orientation, however, is protected."

So, if the Nazis take over, and are protected, it will be not good to bring a class action against them, due to their "political orientation"???

Oh Lord, how far has society come to non-sense!!
