I love this image created by jb2386 on Reddit depicting a landscape if Jupiter was the same distance from Earth as the Moon is. Very cool.

Cleveland Indians spending

We all know about the major expenditures the Cleveland Indians have made for the 2013 season.

But did you know that high school baseball for boys and softball for girls in the Cleveland metropolitan school district is 100% funded by Cleveland Indian Charities and would not exist without them?

Kudos to the Tribe.
