  • copypastry, on 10/11/2009, -0/+212Hello chaps, it's called a holepunch cloud.

    http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040112.html

    Saw one over my hometown in the late winter/early spring last year. The one in the video appears to be pretty damn big.

  • rocknog, on 10/10/2009, -1/+66I'm expecting (and hoping) that some meteorological expert will come in here and and explain just what the ***** this is. It seems like the sort of thing that appears baffling at first, but to the people who know their *****, it's an easily explainable phenomenon. In the meantime, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and phone up Jeff Goldblum to see if he can write a computer virus to take out the aliens' defenses.

  • pault107, on 10/11/2009, -0/+25There are very few people on Digg that don't know what goatse is. If you just Googled it and saw it for the first time, my condolences.
  • Dotcommer, on 10/11/2009, -0/+24no no, this is a growing up experience. If you haven't seen it yet, you're now obligated to go google it. its just like learning how to drive, and forcing yourself to drink coffee, and learning how to shave. Its a step in adulthood. Go out there and be someone! Google goatse.

  • sodoh, on 10/11/2009, -1/+8Although I'd stop at that and not even dare try lemonparty, tubgirl or 2 girls 1 cup. Some things are not worth growing up for.

  • BigSwole, on 10/12/2009, -0/+4Because people know not to click on something pronounced "goatsex". "Goatse" sounds more inconspicuous.
