I realize that we have a Pluto thread already*, but this is different.
CTHULHU IS ON PLUTO!!!
Of course, there’s also a Balrog and Meng Po. If the Plutographers had actually been Lovecraft fans, you’d expect a reference to Yuggoth someplace, and maybe even Tsathoggua and Cxaxukluth.
My favorite of the image-overlay memes that have been going around- the spot that so many are referring to as a “heart”, someone did way better and demonstrated that it is actually the Disney character Pluto. Hence, the (dwarf) planet’s name.
“Yuggoth… is a strange dark orb at the very rim of our solar system… There are mighty cities on Yuggoth—great tiers of terraced towers built of black stone… The sun shines there no brighter than a star, but the beings need no light. They have other subtler senses, and put no windows in their great houses and temples… The black rivers of pitch that flow under those mysterious cyclopean bridges—things built by some elder race extinct and forgotten before the beings came to Yuggoth from the ultimate voids—ought to be enough to make any man a Dante or Poe if he can keep sane long enough to tell what he has seen…”
I used to read The Trentonian newspaper. Once a chemistry class wrote the editor to ask what Goofy was. The answer was, “That’s what you studying? Goofy’s a dog. Now what’s the atomic weight of tungsten?”
Do you mean that you can’t get the link to work (with image), or that you get the image, but can’t see it?
The image is the second one on the page – you have to scroll down. “Cthulhu” is what they’re calling the dark patch to the left (west?) of the “heart”.
If you can see the map, but don’t think it looks like Cthulhu, then
a.) I don’t think it was intended to suggest that the dark patch actually looks like a cephalopod-headed winged being – it’s just a name they gave the dark patch.
b.) It DOES kinda look like one of those “Cthulhu Fish” bumper decorations, if you squint.
Well that’s a relief. I thought it was another case of me not being able to see what everyone else can, like sonagrams and those pictures where you have to look at it a certain way to see the hidden image.
