I think he is referring to the NASA logo.

I hope so, otherwise he needs to see a doctor. There's prescriptions for that.

A few decades worth of his posts makes me think that he doesn't need
that kind of prescription. Of course, it could be a case of recent onset
of schizophrenia but I think that the NASA logo hypothesis is much more
likely here ;-)

I thought it was called "the meatball" ?

The meatball had replaced the worm. The meatball is out. The worm is back.

Article with great picture of the NASA worm logo on the side of the
Falcon 9 which will be used for the crewed Dragon 2 test flight to ISS.

The worm logo actually came out of a much larger effort of the US
Federal Government to actually use graphic design throughout the
government. Before the 70s, logos were haphazard and had no
consistency.

The PDF scan of the manual below is *the* graphics design reference that
was developed to guide NASA employees in how to use graphic design in
documents, on buildings, on vehicles, and etc. Because most engineers
(myself included) are otherwise clueless of graphic design principles.

NHB 1430.2

Thanks. At first I thought this was an April 1 joke but I've seen it
reported now in enough places I guess it's for real. Well it is easier
to paint for sure.

Let me fix that link for one-clickabilty via Thunderbird.

Yeah, my MicroPlanet Gravity newsreader doesn't allow me to type in, or
paste in, lines that are over 80 columns. When I'm quoting, it will
warn me that the quoted area is over 80 columns, but it will still allow
me to post it. It's weird like that.

Just FYI in Thunderbird all you have to do is paste a link as a
quotation and it won't auto-wrap it.
