Neutralised Another Seven Astronauts....

Saturday 1st February 2003

Just thought I'd be the first to coin the acronym....
For those not paying a lot of attention to the world, the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on reentry this morning for unknown reasons.
Various hunches are being voiced regarding the cause of the incident, ranging from missile attacks to the crew of the Columbia not wanting to go to Texas. Including an eyewitness moron who 'saw' a commercial plane ram the thing at two hundred thousand feet.
Of course, we all know what really happened here. I think it's all very self-evident....
In the vein of 9-11, without caving in to the Duhmerican date system, today's date is 01/02/03: clearly the intended date of the rapture in which our lord Jesus Christ returns to Earth to distribute presents to all the good little boys and girls and coal to the rest. In a tragic quirk, however, Christ's reentry appears to have crossed that of the Columbia, killing both the extraterrestial messiah and the seven members of the Columbia's crew.
Oh come on: deities are no sillier a concept than a Boeing hitting a space shuttle at two hundred thousand feet....
It's not yet known whether this was a terrorist attack. It's also not known whether the astronauts were allowed to wear shoes onto the shuttle, or if the pilots were armed in a sealed cockpit, in accordance with the Homeland Security Programme. Also suspect are the thirteen labrats, any of which may have been in possession of a boxcutter.
According to cnn.com, the Columbia will return to orbit in November:

You heard it here first....
cnn.com are also going out on a limb by presuming that the seven astronauts aboard the shuttle which exploded at Mach18 some two hundred thousand feet above Texas might even be dead:

Something about the media really disturbs me....

Spam of the Day

I could probably point out a couple of typos in this spam. Or I could mention that no one looking to refinance his house is going to go for this. I could even mention that the happy little removal link leads to a broken CGI form. But what I'm most concerned about is what in the living hell urheasta wyruszyla is supposed to mean. I really can't guess.
