In a story that would be right at home in the GWC Forum’s “Life is teh suck today because” thread, NASA reports that one of two toilets in the International Space Station is on the blink. And in accordance with Murphy’s Law, the problem arises right as the ISS plays host to a record number of guests: thirteen, in fact.
And you thought the line at the ballgame was bad.
Dateline Chukchi Sea (near Alaska, where swimming = swift death by goosebump): Hunters discover an as-yet-unknown life form meandering placidly with the tides. The Coast Guard’s on the case, and CSI-types are swarming the area with petri dishes and plastic teaspoons in an effort to identify these giant floating globules of wayward organic matter.
A new life form — surely nothing to worry about, right? Something new for us to love, cherish, marvel at, study, sample, and parcel out to every lab on the west coast via UPS overnight shipping and a few chunks of dry ice. Wait, what? Is this the beginning of a great sci-fi story?
