This popped into my Tw*tter feed – sorry, can’t remember who from. Parent throws baby in air, catches baby’s imagination. But who’s that at the apogee? Ceiling Cat or her nemesis, Basement Cat?
On a more serious point, when the first astronauts went into space, they were regularly asked if they saw the face of God…
Obviously the Dark One.
And those folks asking those idiot questions? Idiots.
IDIOT, n. A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot’s activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but “pervades and regulates the whole.” He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.

Awesome GIF!
So did they see it?
No surprise there – after all, the original astronauts were all from the US.
True. But only because the first person in space was called a cosmonaut.
No, they saw his arse.
Why do you think it’s so dark out there.
😀

There’s an old joke on this:
Gagarin comes back from space. First thing, Khrushchev summons him for a private meeting, in which he asks: “Did you see, you know … Him?”
Gagarin nods. “Ow!”, Khrushchev says, “that’s what I feared. But, please, no word to anyone!”
Next, the patriarch of Moscow summons Gagarin, and asks: “Did you see, you know … Him?”
Gagarin shakes his head. “Ow!”, the patriarch says, “that’s what I feared. But, please, no word to anyone!”
Fitness?
Haha.
Yes, definitely Fitness with those evil yellow eyes, always out to do no good to Hili.

I propose this answer:
No, we don’t toast bread up there.
Now the baby can write a book titled, Ceiling Is For Real, or make a movie, Ceiling Cat is Not Dead.
” . . . they were regularly asked if they saw the face of God….”
Do reporters have some genetic predisposition to ask such fatuous questions?
(Or is it that “The Public” is genetically so predisposed, and the reporters are merely asking that in which reporters know the public is interested?)
