All you need is a Ladder

These were sent to me in an Email.
Credit goes to original posters.

Step 1 : Buy yourself a Ladder.
Step 2 : You may now look through your new Scope.

BIG SCOPE ... is an understatement.

Ah, a prime example of the age old philosophical question which has eluded the sages of the ages:

If you have an EQ mount on the equator, do you align north or south?
