Rather Odd &/Or Beautiful Things

[Idle Miscreant]

A thread for things which are neither Relentless Idiocy, nor Other Obsessions. Merely a place for idle peculiarities, hopefully with a mildly aesthetic value, but even that's not particularly important...Suffice to say things which make one ponder on any level. From rampant, frothing philosophy to mild, fret-ridden sunset thoughts.

Ricardo Shillyshally - this thread has a distinct hat-tip in your direction.

I'll start with the astronaut Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station giving his rendition of Space Oddity by Bowie. A bizarrely modern choice, but that's my attempt at being pleasant this year.
