Splash du Jour: Thursday

“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again.
Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it?
This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
-- Richard Dawkins –

Have a great Thursday!
