Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe

0110011001110101 writes "NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust -- it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer. 'Bai is seeking damages totaling $300 million -- the approximate equivalent of the mission's cost -- for her "moral sufferings," Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope." ' "

At the risk of getting modded Troll, as an astrologer, shouldn't she have seen this coming anyway? Maybe it's time for her to look into other career opportunities.

I disagree with the Linux fish being an insult. There are plenty of people who have a set of strong beliefs centered around Linux. Many Linux followers have just as clear of an understanding of their belief system as people pushing other religions.

Slashdotters should be proud, too!

They rarly happens anywhere else. You have no idea how much fun American lawsuites have given us over the years. Not to mention how utterly stupid it makes both the legal system and the country look. But, an American will never understand this and just yell and scream about something called justice and freedom. 2 words an american really have no idea what encompasses.
