Just now noticed that ToTG has reached a hundred countries on our Flag Counter thanks to a recent visitor from Kenya.
Please, be proud for me. I don't have much else to brag about, gimme this one.

Yeah, But Kenya Reach 200?
puissant
puissant \PWISS-uhnt; PYOO-uh-suhnt; pyoo-ISS-uhnt\ , adjective:
1. Powerful; strong; mighty; as, a puissant prince or empire.
If you used that word around these parts to describe someone as strong, you'll probably get knocked on your butt.
In a related note, I noticed that "alliterative insults" is a Google search that leads folks to this post here in ToTG.
A Day of Remembrance
Visible from space, a smoke plume rises from Manhattan after two planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center. This photo was taken of metropolitan New York City the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, from aboard the International Space Station. "Our prayers and thoughts go out to all the people there, and everywhere else," said Station Commander Frank Culbertson of Expedition 3, after the attacks.

100,000 Stars
Omega Centauri
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped this panoramic view of a colorful assortment of 100,000 stars residing in the crowded core of a giant star cluster. This is one of the first images taken by the new Wide Field Camera 3 that was installed aboard Hubble in May 2009 during Servicing Mission 4, which can snap sharp images over a broad range of wavelengths.
