lol... I just found some googly eyes too... which looks like two Death Stars attempting to engage in a staring contest and failing miserably.
 
Hint: The Death Stars are (AFAICT) lens flare. Still pretty funny.

I come from an Earth based micro universe (think sub atomic). I was re-bigulated* to spread peace, harmony and enlightenment to the macro universe but our scientists did not realize where our people had evolved and over estimated what we could offer you "biggies" (thus is the nature of micro universes... you really can't see the bigger picture). Unfortunately we realized too late that we were actually residing in a hair follicle in the darker regions of Bapu's butt and that I, although being the best and brightest our society had to put forth on this diplomatic mission, still came from a hair follicle slightly on the inside of Bapu's buttcrack.
 
Now I roam your universe doing my best to proceed with the mission but when it comes down to it... I am just a Bapu butt particle and can only do so much. I stay close to Bapu in hopes our scientists will eventually be able to invent a DE-bigulator so I can go home to my Bapu butt wife and Bapu butt children.
 
 
*even though I was only bigulated one time this makes sense because of the non linear nature of the quantum realm... basically it's just easier to add "re" to everything because any action taken has already happened before... even if it hasn't.

Billions of light years, billions of years, billions of galaxies, billions upon billions of stars.
 
Makes you feel pretty insignificant on our pale blue dot.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Translation for Diane Abbot:
 
"3 miles, 2 months, £300,000 of galaxies, ten past four.
 
When is the election?"

The picture would indicate the universe is flat. I can clearly see all 4 edges.
