Giant Penis Nebula

All this stuff about darkness and the night sky reminded me that I was going to upload a picture of the Giant Penis Nebula for my friend Bob, so he can attract a shitload of traffic to Black Holes and Astrostuff.

So, here it is:

Ok... yeah, I know it doesn't really actually look like a giant penis. As a matter of fact, it's called the Tadpole Galaxy... Which means it's not even really a nebula. So I'm striking out on all counts! All I can say is that it's been a really really long time since I've seen an actual penis up close and in person - so... that's my excuse.

On the other hand, you could maybe call it the Giant Sperm Nebula... because it does kind of look like one... doesn't it? huh? huh?

    So, Bob, if you want to put this - or an even better facsimile on your site, feel free to grab the url to the picture. It's hosted at Zooomr (I think) just click on the image and you should get the embed html....

    Anyway, I thought this was hilariously fun. Thanks for the opportunity to be silly and stupid!

    Lol, okay never thought it was this one, mostly for the reasons you stated, like it not being a nebula and all, the link below is the one I thought you were talking about, it's an actual nebula, and one part,the tallest looks like a penis, I feel like a naughty school boy printing that word,lol.
