Ever, perhaps, wonder what fixed the stars in the firmament, and how lucky we all are that humans since time out of mind have called the stars and asterisms by such lovely names? We all are bound by our concept of the starry sky - all humans share this same wonderment and penchant for recognizing and naming those patterns of stars. It is one universal hallmark of our species that makes me have faith and love for humankind. Humans can be so awesome!
DayMoon: No. I always know when the "next time I'm going to get laid is." It's the next time I look at mr dontcry and smile...
hernesheir: Funny you should ask, really. Today, on the way to church for my son's weekly confirmation class, I was pondering heaven (I do that a lot) and, as usual, the whole concept of 'firmament' came to mind. And, as usual, I tried and tried to imagine it. Is it like the "Swedish Sleep System" that conforms to each (heavenly) body? Or is it more like a really firm cloud? Or maybe like cotton candy...I think I always come to the conclusion that it's kind of a cross between a gas and that beautiful gossamer-like hair on the head of our Christmas Angel who sits atop our tree each year. Hmmm.

They can be. They can also spend an inordinate amount of time wondering when the next time is that they'll be laid.
Hernesheir, I'm with you, wondering at the starry firmament.
