Astronaut Has 'Wasabi Spill' in Space

Sda~ writes "You learn something new everyday: There is nothing in the astronaut training manual about how to clean up flying wasabi. An inadvertent Wasabi spill this week aboard the ISS has made space agencies re-evaluate including the spicy paste in future meals. The astronauts are allowed some of their favorite foods on each trip, to alleviate homesickness. 'Williams, whose father was born in India, has several Indian dishes in her bonus container, including Punjabi kadhi with pakora - vegetable fritters topped with yogurt and curry - and mutter paneer, a curry dish. The dishes are packaged to have a long shelf life in space. Her U.S. crew mate, astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, is an even bigger foodie. Lopez-Alegria, who was born in Madrid but grew up in California, had Spanish muffins known as magdalenas, chorizo pork sausage and latte in his bonus container.'"

    Yep. Mac users are androgynous.

    They are also smug with no good reason, unlike Linux users.

    heh I love how this guy takes the time to spam his ugly mac girls in every thread... Like why do they all have dike cuts?!? Atleast this one is prettier than that god awful chick with the lipstick (as the gf points out "who the fuck still wears lipstick other than older women, its lipgloss now a days"). But I do always get a kick out of this guys standards (or lack there of) of women.
