Everything is edible except for a tiny wire inserted into each antenna and then those wires were inserted into small coffee straws.
This heroic image from WISE is of a special cloud of dust and gas in the constellation Canis Major catalogued as NGC 2359. The nebula is more commonly known as Thor's Helmet due to its remarkable resemblance to depictions of the headwear donned by the famed Norse god of thunder and lightning.
Powering Thors Helmet is HD 56925, a highly luminous "Wolf-Rayet" star (seen at the center of the helmet). These kinds of stars are massive; from 10 to 80 times the mass of our Sun. Such stars are often associated with bright nebulae, many of which appear to be spherical bubbles with the Wolf-Rayet star at the center. It is thought that the progenitors of these stars are either red supergiants or luminous blue variable stars, both of which slowly shed matter as they age. Once the star enters its Wolf-Rayet phase its strong, fast stellar wind sweeps up the surrounding debris left by the original star and even gathers up interstellar matter from its environment. It literally blows a bubble in space. These hot stars become 200,000 times more luminous than the Sun. They flood the nebula with ultraviolet light that ionizes much of the gaseous material leading to the bright emission in visible light. Interactions with a nearby large molecular cloud are thought to have contributed to the more complex shape and curved bow-shock structure of Thor's Helmet.
NGC 2359 was the first Wolf-Rayet nebula to be discovered. Between 1917 and 1919, Francis Pease studied the nebula at the Mt. Wilson observatory in southern California. He described the bright regions of the nebula as matching the descriptions of early observers such as Sir John Herschel (son of the discoverer of infrared light, William Herschel), who saw a bust rather than a helmet. The object was later found to show nitrogen emission by Edwin Hubble and listed in his 1922 paper, A general study of diffuse galactic nebulae. The object has also been of interest to members of the WISE science team during their careers having been studied by Martin Cohen and the WISE Principal Investigator Ned Wright, who co-authored an article in the March 1980 issue of Sky & Telescope, A bubble in space - The shell of NGC 2359.
Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across and its distance from Earth is estimated to be about 15,000 light-years. This image covers an area of sky about 2.5 times the size of the full Moon. All four infrared detectors aboard WISE were used to make this image. Color is representational: blue and cyan represent infrared light at wavelengths of 3.4 and 4.6 microns, which is dominated by light from stars. Green and red represent light at 12 and 22 microns, which is mostly light from warm dust.

American militia from Geneva Ohio. Date and uniform is not certain. It looks very much like there is some sort of bird on the top of this helmet. I have not seen anything like this so far.
We drove to Vienna and went for a bike ride, and stumbled across a festival! While Toby and Liam waited in line for the ride, Livvy tried on my bike helmet.
The Sutton Hoo helmet at the British Museum in London, United Kingdom.
The 7th century Anglo-Saxon helmet which was found at a ship burial site at Sutton Hoo is one of the most famous archeological finds from the early Middle Ages.
Some indentify the Sutton Hoo site as the grave of Rædwald, King of the East Angles. Rædwald held a large overlordship in southern England and is named as one of the powerful Bretwaldas in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.

Completing this trilogy, this blue image shows the outline of the Athenian helmet, which is the geographic area West of Ireland and England.
I suggest making this "Layer 4", and can be overlayed the Atlantic Master image, then evacuating the blue with the magic wand.
For these and many other reasons, I sincerely thank Google Earth, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and certainly Adobe Photoshop.
The toggling tool is an invaluable educational tool, exactly like overlaying acetates over master images, to show change effects.
Let's think about this for a moment, how about an automated animation sequence feature, added to Adobe Photoshop, for educational and training purposes!! Thanks to all, and more to come using this technique.

7th century helmet from the ship burial excavated at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, in spring and summer 1939, just before the outbreak of World War 2. The person buried here is unknown, however, from the artifacts buried with him he must have been an important person in Anglo-Saxon Britain.
somehow i don't think Nazi's were drinking Brisk for a celebration...

www.unleashedmoto.com/eshopprod_cat_6623_product_1040047.... - Coulrophobia, or in laymen's term, a completely rational fear of clowns. Icon Alliance Krazy Klown Helmet It's an extremely common condition usually instigated by a youth spent near carnivals, hobo encampments, or fast food restaurants. Whatever the cause there is no known cure. Some will tell you that clowns are merely actors with facepaint. Wrong. All clowns are evil demonic demons and desire nothing more than to eat you alive - you know, for fun. Those aren't idle ramblings of the Iconic mind, those are facts.
This Vietnam era M1 has the older type Mitchell pattern cover, it was made from a cotton twill material and it had to have holes cut for the bails and straps to be used. The cover is reversible and has an autumn brown type camo on the reverse.
This picture shows the unusual side-by-side treatment of the reserve numbers on the helmet cover. In addition, this is the reserve Regiment always associated, rightly or wrongly, with Braunschweig. This card was sent from a small town just barely outside the border of the state of Braunschweig. It would be tremendous to see what the Wappen looked like under the cover.
