So majestic and beautiful, hot and spicy...

It's not real, or rather, it's not a star, just a humble Chorizo sausage.

How easily the eye can be deceived.

The author, Étienne Klein apologised a few days later for the hoax.

That's hilarious I was thinking pepperoni myself, especially after the hot and spicy

I was about to say... is that a pepperoni?
I was close.

For some sad reason, this amuses me.

The sad thing is, is how many people just believed it. We really have stupid people in this world.

I'm sure some of it is stupid, but most of it is indifference, or people are just too busy or self-centric, nothing wrong with it, they just aren't paying attention, and their focus is elsewhere.

For example, I noticed immediately it looked like a pepperoni had nothing to do with intelligence, I can be food-centric anyway, and #2 I'm in the midst of my weekly 36-48 fast, and everything looks like food when I fast.

Additionally, it depends on the device used to view it, if I glance at this on my iPhone I could easily think it's a star

Saw this yesterday and had a good chuckle.

Coulda sniffed it out with a Smell-o-Scope...

Made me think about the Paleontologists that put a different head on a long neck dinosaur and called it a Brontosaurus.

Star for the Smell-o-Scope reference.

Amazing.

I thought it looked really weird.

But I was wrong.

It is simply just delicious.

Did you think for yourself or allow the expert to tell you it was a star?

I often hope the writers of Futurama log into ATS and see my efforts keeping it alive.
