This has been another upliftingly scientificalismically educational public service message in the Keepin'-It-Real factoid-indoctrination series by Dekalb_Blues, aimed at helping the Average Non-Expert Man In The Street understand that if he actually understood certain things his head would probably explode and thus maybe it's for the best that he's a bit behind the knowledge-curve, and that realistically what he can perhaps best strive for is to get the hell out of the street and up on the sidewalk, for God's sake.
 

P.S. Actually, Nia, the images you contribute are always interesting Nice Things, and sometimes even strike me as being ineffable evocations of the profound austere beauty of the mystery-clad being! Which as most would agree is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Cheers.
