'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space

RandBlade writes "The Telegraph has an article about plans to launch mice into space with simulated low-gravity for five weeks, to test the effects of low-gravity on their bodies. This "will be the first time mammals of any kind have lived in partial gravity for an extended period." Hopes are that this will provide information useful for plans to launch men to Mars, which has one-third of the gravity of Earth."

    Check out the amazing Yoshi girl and her playful tentacle friend! Rides starting soon at $29.99 (Saddle not included; children ride for half-price).

    Yoshi-girl is genetically engineered to be in constant sexual heat and is guaranteed to pounce on even the smelliest nerd with little coaxing! Spending a few hours with Yoshi-girl is sure to be the most gratifying experience you've had in years. Don't believe us? Just look at these testimonials from previous customers:

    Hunched over in that uncomfortable chair writing Linux kernel code all day was really tense. Human girls wouldn't come near me, but Yoshi-girl treated me like I was the last man on Earth. Two thumbs up!

    Sure she's not human, but it sure beats all the sleazy Mexican whores I've been with, and believe me, I've been with more than you can count. You go Yoshi!

    As a Republican and true patriot, I cannot describe how FUCKING HARD my cock gets when someone talks about how great the US military is. Usually I just can't help it and immediately have to blow my load on some pictures of the greatest President and Texan of all time, his excellency GEORGE WALKER BUSH and that nigger general who commanded the Iraq campaign. Needless to say, I printed those out myself, using my AMERICAN PC and my AMERICAN printer! God, it feels so good to live in this country. Those Eurofags have no clue how fantastic it is to be an AMERICAN!

    Better get a real democracy, Eurofags, so you can drive nice SUVs and be proud of your armed forces too. Even though you'll never be as great as the good old US of A!
