When it’s a young boy, [and they say] ‘Yes sir, no sir’ that’s okay. But when they say, ‘Young lady’ or ‘How’s my girlfriend?’ [it] means you are old and disgusting and ‘I wouldn’t screw you for anything in the world.’ I get so angry. Or when they say, ‘You know, even though you’re 79, I’d still do you.’ And you want to say, ‘You know, you may be 40, I wouldn’t touch you if you were the last man on Earth.’ How dare you, you disgusting person, would think I would want to go near you.

NASA scientists have isolated an ethereal glow permeating parts of the sky that may be the remnants of the earliest objects in the universe.
The glow, which is seen as the red and orange glow in the NASA image at the top of this article, is thought to be from the first stars that formed in the universe, some 13 billion years ago, shortly after the theorized “Big Bang” some 13.7 billion years ago.
