US Air Force Launches Secret Flying Twinkie
Spectrummag writes "One of the most secretive US Air Force spaceflights in decades, launched this month, is keeping aficionados guessing as to the nature of the secret. The 6000-kilogram, 8-meter X-37B, nicknamed the flying Twinkie because of its stubby-winged shape, is supposed to orbit Earth for several weeks, maneuver in orbit, then glide home. What's it for? Space expert James Oberg tracks the possibilities."
Where's da' Creme Filling?
Tallahassee, having exhausted every supply of twinkies on the earth, goes to Cape Canaveral and hot-wires a space shuttle to go after the big twinkie he saw in the sky. "The gang" goes with him. They find Buzz Aldrin (who has creative zombie killing genius only rivaled by Tallahassee) to pilot the shuttle. Columbus and Witchita get to make out in space. Zombies hitch a ride with them and have to be killed. They make a "pitstop" at the ISS, which has more zombies that have to be killed. And the "big twinkie in the sky" turns out to just be a lame USAF space plane experiment with no twinkies on board but is full of more zombies to be killed.
