Major, Major

Why is it wrong to use "major, major" in a beauty contest? How about "big, big" would this be acceptable to the Miss Universe judge? Or great great? Terrible terrible? Youre all pretentious, damn pageant people. (Watch Little Miss Sunshine so you can get my point).

Speaking of Universe... I just discovered that it is possible to take a picture of the Milky Way from night-sky on Earth.


Here is the instruction from NASA:
To do so, conditions need to be just right. First and foremost, the sky must be relatively clear of clouds so that the long band of the Milky Way's central diskcan be seen. The surroundings must be very near to completely dark, with no bright artificial lights visible anywhere. Next, the Moon cannot be anywhere above the horizon, or its glow will dominate the landscape. Last, the shadowscan best be caught on long camera exposures
 Wow, could this be capture-able at Arayat? Or a remote location in Siquijor?

Going back to Venus Raj, this is an effective mini-dissertation discussing her and her now well-cited, frequently-referenced, soon-to-be-legendary answer.

I agree that she's practically more famous now that the one who actually won that pretentious pageant. Good answer, good work, Venus!
