First Pictures From Mars Phoenix Lander
Now that the solar panels have been deployed, the Mars Phoenix Lander has begun sending back pictures of the red planet to the hungry space geeks of earth. In just a few weeks the claw will deploy and they'll start digging a hole. The scientists expect to use the dirt to construct a little sand castle which they will defend with several GI Joe action figures, and a bald barbie stolen from their sisters. Oh, and maybe find water or bacteria.
Yes folks, the third story 'bout the Phoenix thingy on the front page.
How about we stop having these stories until we actually have something different to talk about?
I don't know, maybe the fact that they found some bacteria?
OK, yes, it's a great thing, but what about discussing a lake that due to a recent earthquake or two (you may have heard about it), now threatens to overflow and wash away a village or two, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7419756.stm ?
Or heck, the fact that, yes, the Arctic is fucking up? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7417123.stm
Have they found Elvis yet?
This space up for sale.
Homosexuality is mentioned in the New Testament, and the evils of Pork may need explanation not like homosexuality. I mean, bestiality is only mentioned in the old testament once.
>Homosexuality: not even mentioned in the Gospels, and the Old Testament has more to say about the evil of pork.
Thou shalt not pork thy neighbor or thy neighbor's wife? (Sorry, not enough espresso yet.)
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
