Duck!

How's your day going? Better than this:

SCIENCE! Space, to be specific. If you're wondering how many pixels it takes to get a good picture of the heavens, here's a hint:

We don't see the Magellanic Clouds in the Northern Hemisphere. Too bad:

Go here for the HD video, and some instruction about the stars. NO, you say. No, I want to laugh at someone who lacks the elemental self-awareness and parental supervision that would prevent him from making his name and face synonymous for all time with an embarrassing song.

Anyway, Crumb's not showing a suburb, as the headline for the story asserts. It's obviously the oldest part of a city, with a commercial node near train tracks.
