    In reply to Three-Part Nebula Offers A Glimpse At The Inner Workings Of A Star Factory
    So every time I watch Rocky Horror Picture Show and the audience response line comes up "What the f***'s a Triffid?" I think about this and also about the picture of the Trifid Nebula that you can see in the queue for Space Mountain.

    @RandomFrequentFlierDent: Revel in your linkiness and embrace the cross-referencing of all things nifty.
    Let us not forget the slow-moving botanical terror that is Triffidus celestus.

    @RandomFrequentFlierDent: Stephan's notion of this nebula as a "factory floor for star creation" puts me in mind of Magrathea.

    @Grey_Area: Also reminded of this song. Pity I can't find a clip of Bugs Bunny singing it.
    Ah the Glass Bead Game, what fun!

    @Grey_Area: I am humbled before your ability to cross-reference. Your link-age skills far surpass my own. Well done.
