[I LOL’d. Also, that’s probably one of the biggest stereotypes about white people that they may be completely unaware of. White people point with their feet, and black people point with their heads. :D]

fter lifting off from the Moon, Eagle approaches the Command Module during rendezvous. Astronaut Michael Collins, who remained on board the Command Module for the entire trip, remembers taking this photograph: “Little by little, they grew closer, steady, as if on rails, and I thought ‘What a beautiful sight,’one that had to be recorded. As I reached for my Hasselblad, suddenly the Earth popped up over the horizon, directly behind Eagle. I could not have staged it any better, but the alignment was not of my doing, just a happy coincidence. I suspect a lot of good photography is like that, some serendipitous happenstance beyond the control of the photographer. But at any rate, as I clicked away, I realized that for the first time, in one frame, appeared three billion earthlings, two explorers, and one moon. The photographer, of course, was discreetly out of view.” (quoted with permission from Apollo Through the Eyes of the Astronauts) (NASA) (via Remembering Apollo 11 - The Big Picture - Boston.com)

A woman who performs genital cutting displays a knife she uses to perform the procedure. Uganda will pass a law banning female genital mutilation, which is rampant among pastoralist tribes in the country’s eastern region.

(From: Uganda to outlaw female circumcision)
