NASA Launches Giant Magnifying Glass Into Space

ByronScott writes "Early this morning NASA kicked off Operation LENS, an ambitious plan to concentrate and collect solar power using a giant magnifying glass in outer space. Long speculated to be a rumor, the 7,000,000 ft. wide lens was fabricated over the course of the past three years and launched from Cape Canaveral much to the dismay of almost every scientist in the world. While the first phase went exactly as planned, the plan hit a major snag when the magnifying glass began to work a bit too well, and ended up scorching large regions in the western hemisphere."

    Do you see anyone laughing in these posts? Do you not get the point yet? Do you even look at whats posted in comments? Is your plan to flood us with some much bullshit that we miss anything that might possibly be real?

    Guys, 1 or two sneak April 1 jokes is ok. Retarded non-stories is another. You aren't funny. Retire and pimp Apple products on a blog somewhere.
