And just to remind you of your place in the world, here’s a bit of a galaxy – which appropriately enough is part of one of your standard galaxy clusters.  It’s 50,000 light years across and 28 million light years away.  Not a bad view – remastered from the Hubble Space Telescope.

    FDB, we are all part of the humango family. Manning Clark was the person who first drew our attention to them when he asked “What goes on in the heart of a humango”.

    And you are right. They are delicious. We are delicious.
