First Space Lawyer Graduates

PHPNerd writes "Over at space.com is an interesting article about the first space lawyer. He graduated from the University of Mississippi. 'Any future space lawyer might have to deal with issues ranging from the fallout over satellite shoot-downs to legal disputes between astronauts onboard the International Space Station. The expanding privatization of the space sector may also pose new legal challenges [...] "We are particularly proud to be offering these space law certificates for the first time, since ours is the only program of its kind in the U.S. and only one of two in North America," said Samuel Davis, law dean at the University of Mississippi.'"

Why the University of Mississppi? Isn't that like studying oceanography in Colorado? Wouldn't it be more prudent to study in Florida, Texas? Hell, even Alabama is a better choice.

When was the last time a ship landed on someone's house?

Last Thursday. A whole boatload of semen was stranded on my rooftop, that is, until I pulled out the garden hose!
