As found here. It's all so clear, now...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

| Well see? It all becomes clear now... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Wait a minute, that's Sean Hannity's chart! My chart is duller, being so obvious with the GOP and Dick Cheney behind it all.
Of course you know, in reality it all leads to Viacom. They seem to be behind everything we see and hear. |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

On another message board I frequent, a poster asked:
| Could God be the creation of man? I mean in the sense that our emotions and prayers give it energy that causes it to exist in some form..a Egregore, so to speak... a living thought form that feeds off of our energy and might even be able to work small miracles in some quantum kind of way? |
I started to explain that emotions and prayers were not "energy" in any real sense of the word, but then I stopped myself. What better way to show the insanity of such a question than to agree? So I gave the following gibberish as a reply instead. I was proud of myself for being able to work in the term "reverse vampire," even if I still don't know what it really means.
| Absolutely! The combined positive energy of the life field most definitely could give rise to a universal consciousness, even if one that would at the same time be necessarily unconscious to itself. Left undirected, or more precisely free to follow its own direction, this would absolutely cause perturbations in the temporal sequencing of quantum events. These events might be interpreted by some people as "miracles," but of course they would only seem that way to us. However, more worrying are the destructive implications of this, especially the negative influence of chaotic energy--"reverse vampires" if you will. |

Reverse Vampire
| Originating from Tansylvania, a small town near Rachel, Nevada, reverse vampires are minions of the King of the Unliving and have all the powers of a diseased dirty sock. They usually are either lactose intolerant or are vegetarians and always live with there mommies (they never get married so this means that normally only up to 18 of them live in one 2 ft. by 4 ft. by 5 ft. room at any one given moment. They originated in Antarctica but by the late 1700's invaded North America (they helped the Americans out in the American Revolutionary War), Japan, Wales, Flemmland, and even Mexico City! Insider information[1] says they will also attempt to invade the moon by the year -9740271.59268 (negative nine million seven hundred forty thousand two hundred seventy one point five nine two six eight). They are known to crave light in general but especially that of the sun.[2] |
I hope that clears it up. |

Yeah; I actually saw the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode a few days ago, after the reference here. I guess or collective curiosity send a wave in the quantum weave of causality that caused Adult Swim to program it... Or maybe it is just a coincidence.
Essentially, reverse vampires crave sun-light and sleep in tanning beds rather than coffin. And they can take the shape of a school bus for some reason. |
