I think I have a higher tolerance for happiness than most people. Rock climbing and sex make me happy. Luckily for me I do a lot of both.
Oh Mimic Octopus also makes me happy. Mimic octopus is badass.

By the way, Joel was correct. The Supernova in the previous image is the second blue star to the right of the galaxy core.
