Secret Sun Picture Parade: Clowns in Space


Well, another week, another batch of seemingly unrelated images grabbed from the memestream and stitched together with a fistful of snark from yours truly...

Readers have noticed this new Rolling Stone cover, which should be no surprise to Secret Sun readers. Space colonization is where its at for the moneyed classes these days, so of course U2 are going to promote it. Note Saturn up top there.



Speaking of space colonization and moneyed classes, here's a funny coincidence- a Canadian billionaire blasting off into space from Kazakhstan, wearing a clown nose. That reminds me- did I mention that the Scottish Rite's favorite hobby is dressing up as clowns?

Funny how Kazahkstan is setting itself up as a major spaceport- and rumor has it, an alien embassy. Maybe that explains all of the pyramids. Nice blue-and-gold color scheme on that capstone, no?
And speaking of the Scottish Rite, its double-headed eagle logo has shown up in a funny old place...


...in the logo of a shadowy mercenary group setting up shop in an abandoned prison in Montana. I tried looking them up on Wikipedia, but it linked me to the American Knights Templar, LLC Blackwater wiki. Must be some kind of glitch.


Speaking of boot-heels on faces (forever), my old stomping-grounds the Empire State Building was lit up in red and gold for China's 60th Anniversary as a "communist" state. Synchronistically, I was supposed to meet up with my old ESB workmates that night but couldn't make it.


Speaking of New York again, our old friend Chesley Sullenberger is back behind the controls. How about that?


Thursday was quite eventful- GM sadly shut down its Saturn brand. Interesting headline and photo, no?


And a new proto-hominid was discovered, messing up the missing link theory somehow. 'Ardi' looks more like a proto-chimp, but whatever. It's all too sciencey for me.
