Robot Helps NASA Refocus On Hubble
The ailing Hubble telescope keeps refusing to die; jdoire points out this story at the Washington Post which reads in part "Largely because of the Canadian robot named 'Dextre,' NASA has gone in less than a year from virtually writing off the Hubble to embracing a mission that will cost between $1 billion and $1.6 billion and approach in complexity the hardest jobs the agency has ever undertaken." (We last mentioned Dextre back in August.)
One point six billion dollars on photos of space.
Kind of makes you wonder how much better the world would be if that money were spent on improving things on the ground.
Hi. I'm twenty five years old, and up until two weeks ago, I was a virgin. Too many celibacy had worn my self-esteem down to the point where I was finally willing to pay for sex. I'll spare you the details of the event, as this is not what I am writing about. After having completed the act, the prostitute whose services I had rented immediately exclaimed that something had felt weird. With no particular ceremony, she grabbed my now-flaccid member and subjected it to an intense examination, while biting her thumbnail in consternation. After a brief period, she informed me that my penis was deformed, in her professional opinion. I had spent my entire life without ever seeing another man urinate, so I was not aware that the output usually emits from the end of the head, not the underside, where mine does. I'd like to know if I should seek the advice of a doctor or plastic surgeon? Is this the sort of thing that can, or even should be corrected? I've lived with it for twenty five years, and it hasn't bothered me. Is there really any reason to worry about this?
Wow, so Canada has something more for it than cheap hookers.
