IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        January 25, 3933 - Today, we lost another crew in the Vishar Galaxy. 
That place gives me the creeps!!  Every single crew that NASTAR has sent up
there has disappeared.  I think that there's something up there.

        February 14, 3933 - We have once again lost another crew to the
mysterious Vishar Galaxy.  However, before we lost them, they mentioned
something about a new, never-before-seen planet up there.  I wonder . . .

        March 2, 3933 - Aha!!!  I knew that something wasn't right up there.  We
lost another crew today, but at least we now know what's going on!  Our
astronauts took a picture for us, before they died.  Best we can tell, the
planet seems to be slimy, and reaching for them.  Thus, we have named it
"Globulous."

        April 22, 3933 - We just received some bad news today.  Apparently,
Globulous is now headed straight for earth!!  Everything we have tried to stop
it thus far has failed.  I feel as though we're doomed . . .

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        Here's what ya need to make a Globulous of your own:

        First, use sPatch to make a blob.
        Then, use it repeatedly to form a glob.
        Follow that up with a blue-like sphere.
        Use another that's transparent, and magic you'll hear.
        Afterward, borrow an include file or two.
        Mix them together, make a starscape look true.
        One more sphere made of glass couldn't hurt,
        Make it with class, or you'll have tons of dirt.
        Finally, put together a stupid sounding rhyme
        and you'll have a Globulous in no time!!!

        Thanks for your time, and good luck to all entrants!
