Geez .... anyone with any historical knowledge of art, in particular Van Gogh, is aware of the painting and its context.
Sig, if you were offended, I apologize ... TOL ....chill. Smile. Have a yo-yo.

Respectfully and lovingly, if you don't like day's image, don't waste your time, just close the thread. Ragging on Sig is shooting the messenger, but I'm sure he likes the bumps.
You have to kiss a lot of toads before you meet the handsome prince/ beautiful princess, and there have been some really handsome/ beautiful pix on this list.
cripplecreek has been around for a long time. his post was an expression of frustration at NASA, not me.
Sorry, my comments were not directed at the messenger, and I should have been more clear that I was in fact referring to NASA, not Sig.
Not my intention to rag on a fellow freeper, but in review, I see how I left that intention. My apologies...

Yes, not everyone I pinged was down on Sig, but it can seem like it sometimes when there's a hard crowd.
Cripplecreek is a respected FRiend, which was why I tried to be as gentle as possible with my defense of Sig.
Leave it to me to start a polite flame war and upset everyone, even the person I was defending, on a lighthearted thread.

Oh I wasn’t down on Sig, he just posts what they put up.
In any case its all good. Today’s APOD is a nice one.
i never thought your comments were directed at me. NASA has inspired my wrath more than a few times for posting nonsense. who remembers the steaming pile of crap ping? :)
There are times when NASA is a racket .... and needs to be critiqued.
