A cartoon astronaut in a spacesuit (NASA patch, American flag) smiles and holds up one hand while gripping a triangular Toblerone chocolate bar in the other. Behind him a porthole shows black space. He exclaims: "WHOA! A SIXTH FINGER! OOH, AND A TOBLERONE! THIS WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK!" A caption below reads: "What really happens when you go past the speed of light." The joke: faster-than-light travel mutates him an extra finger and conjures candy, which he considers a great deal. Votey: the astronaut gives a thumbs-up with his now six-fingered hand and says "Thanks, Jesus!" An offscreen voice replies, "The Universe was designed for you!"
