The Halo 2 Council of Celebrities

An anonymous reader writes "I just read about this over at VH1.com. It's called the Halo 2 Council, and it's made up of celebrities who get to play Halo 2 in advance of the launch. Don't expect to join, though. This council is only open to societies' most respected artists and intellectuals: Linkin Park, Hoobastank, some guy that plays sports, a girl that appeared on Friends, and an actor from The 0.C."

When they are done playing Halo 2, NASA has requested their advice on plants for the mars trip.

Don't you just love people who are famous because of their fame?

NASA Scientist 1: First Post!! (+3 funny)
NASA Scientist 2: FP! OMG LOL!! (-1 redundant)
NASA Scientist 3: We should bring back some Mars rocks to research planetary formation so we can understand if it had a strong magnetic field early during its formation. Of course MY projects never get funded because you are too shortsigthed and continue to soak up resources for the doomed ISS (+2 Interesting [50% Interesting, 50% Troll])
NASA Scientist 4: I for one welcome out Martian Rock Overlords (+3 Funny [70% Funny, 30% Overrated])
NASA Scientist 1: 1. Spend billions on rock collecting mission, 2. ???, 3. Profit! (0 [100% Overrated])
Anonymous Coward: You guys are a bunch of dorks, stop spending my tax dollars, go home to your parents basement and play D&D, and let private companies do space exploration. (+5 Funny [20% Interesting, 80% Funny])
