    I am sure he told the guys at NASA command that he would eat a light breakfast to compensate for the weight difference. ;) What fun would space be if you couldn't play with toys?

    When Kirk would start out with "Captain's log..." he was really making an entry into his weblog. Man, I'd love to see the feedback on that thing:

    Captain's log, stardate 1234: Banged the green chick again today - what a wild one!

    April 26: Wow, what a ride! Everything went perfectly! I really like the crew. They're so nice.

    April 30: The Commander is a little gruff at times and the payload specialist has been laying some major payloads of flatulence, but overall it's not so bad.

    May 5: The crew acts nice and polite when I'm around, but I suspect they don't like me. They always stop whispering when they see me.

    May 18: If I catch Yuri with my wife's picture again doing what he was doing, he's going to be doing some unscheduled EVA, suit optional.

    May 31: They're up to something alright. They think I can't see their little conspiratorial glances and such, but I can, oh I can.

    June 12: The voices are growing louder now. They're telling me the crew's true plan. Act normal, I can't let them know I'm on to them. Not yet.

    June 29: I've taken advantage of the short periods I have alone to set up a little surprise for these aliens posing as my human crewmates. Almost ready. Soon, soon I'll be free.

    July 7: This is my last blog entry All is prepared. The crew knows I know now. I have only miuntes now to save the world. Just one push of a button and it will be all over for these invaders.

    Their farts were spherical red flame. Not like the farts here on Earth. Fart Machines will be richly rewarded by this project from Nasa.

    Another plus for the ISS.

    OK. Maybe it's just me, but it takes them two days to get to the space station. What happens if they need a shit on the way? Are they on drugs or what?

    And I didn't read a single entry about using the toilet in the whole blog.

    Come on, there's gotta be a humorous story somewhere up there about someone "following through" when farting as they were getting dressed ("one in the eye" for international relations? :).

    Zillions of dollars and no toilet humor? Tch, what is the world coming to?
