I fear that zombies will see that sign and start getting boats.

Then get a bigger boat, you're gonna need it.

Isn't this the sort of thing which usually makes you wince? Because I'm thinking effective gene pool cleansing at work.

Yes, it's the Brentardo Effect.

Wow! That's got to be an artist's rendering, right? It's just too perfect.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:42 pm

Not sure, I didn't read the details. But yeah, that's why I posted that one. it looks like an artist's rendering.

Shnicky-Poo · Post by **Shnicky-Poo** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:44 pm

You know what, now I'm not so sure. It's from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, and their gallery is full of similarly spectacular images. I didn't look too hard, but they don't seem to list them as renderings. Indeed they've got a "sun as art" section.

Nini · Post by **Nini** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:47 pm

It's technically art but otherwise seems to be photos combined and spruced up a little. They seem to make out that it's not much different than a false colour image.

DEyncourt · Post by **DEyncourt** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:52 pm

From the SDO's "Sun as Art" section:

Most images were taken in extreme ultraviolet wavelength of light. Many images are presented with no manipulation at all; in some, only color tables are altered; in the more inventive ones, pieces were cut and moved around.

That makes inverse sense.

Aha, there we go.

A really neat little program operating without fanfare and doing good work.

Oh yeah but I get told I'm wrong, screw you Fodge.

Is that an offer?

I'm afraid it doesn't warrant getting you on the "Do Not Troll" list.

I don't think I'm on his "Yes Troll These" books either.
