Errant Needle

Not in a haystack (thankfully).

[I've purposely avoided pointing out the needle in the first photo, but if you expand the image and squint, you'll see it^]

There seems to be an interesting connection here with my post from two days ago.  It was a random shot I found in an old folder, of a helium balloon somebody accidentally (presumably) let go.  Then, today I come across a needle, as if I were being (pun warning) needled to puncture it.  Coincidence?

To paraphrase a line by Damon Knight in his book Charles Fort:  Prophet of the Unexplained, if there is a Universal Mind, and it is indeed all-knowing, that still need not mean it must be sane or even particularly intelligent.  Months of drought, then a sudden downpour that produces floods -- is it in answer to prayers for relief?  If there is a Universal mind, it need not be anything but the mind of a five-year old.  Or in this case, perhaps a prop comedian.
