I wanted a new wallpaper for my iPhone, so I shot a photo of a bitten apple and merged it with an image of Earth using Photoshop.

Ha ha :) Did you come up with this yourself, or did you get this idea from the cover of that book by Ken Ham?
JD Hancock (48 months ago | reply)
Emperor Tux: I'm not familiar with the book. The default wallpaper on my phone was this photo of the Earth, and I thought it would be funny if it looked more like the Apple logo.
dcbprime (48 months ago | reply)
Tux I thought I had seen a similar image. "The Answers Book" or some title like that.
My first thought was that Galactus had been here.
My second thought was that I think I would have washed & peeled it first. Those things are just covered in critters, you know.

Wow very strange, nice work on the merge though!
HelloImNik (48 months ago | reply)
Great idea!
JD Hancock (48 months ago | reply)
dcbprime: Seriously, I almost called it "Galactus Was Here," but I decided to go for the more obvious approach. ;-)
kennymatic: Thanks!
