Malaysians to Vote on First Astronaut
wengkius writes "According to BBC, Malaysians will be voting for their candidate of choice in the nationwide search for an astronaut to be sent to the ISS on board the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Once its 11,000 would-be astronauts have been whittled down to a handful, their details and updates on their progress will be posted on the internet. If the contest proves popular and the government charges for the votes, it may even be able to cover the cost of its space program."
Not even that pro-American.
What is people's sick fascination with "the goatse man?" Why does he have to be referred to over and over again in every single discussion? Are you people really that much in love your twisted image that you have to mention it everywhere you go? I don't care about who does what in Soviet Russia, or what Roland Pixiedust or whatever his name is posts, first posts, or even the eternal classic "haha, their server got pwned," but for goodness sake, enough with the stupid goatse references!
Do your worst mods. I've got plenty of karma to burn and can easily gain anything back without so much as thinking goatse. It's a race to -1.
