The Space Station Toilet Is Broken

That's one small dump for man . . . one giant poop for mankind.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronauts aboard the NASA space shuttle Discovery will be carrying an extra piece of cargo when they launch on Saturday -- a new toilet pump.

Crew members aboard the International Space Station have been fumbling with plastic bags since their zero-gravity toilet went made "a loud noise" and stopped working properly last week.

A second toilet is also planned. The space toilets vent waste matter into space and work using carefully designed vacuums so nothing unpleasant escapes into the gravity-free station. (H/T - Reuters)

Sources report that the Discovery will also jettison its two month's supply of beans and tacos.

Touchdown!

Okay, everyone can breathe now. Discovery has landed safely in California this morning, sticking it to the NASA nay-sayers. In your face, gravity!

Godspeed, Discovery!

Obviously, I'm making a joke here (with a little help from Dribbleglass), but by the time I wake up later today, the space shuttle will be back on Mother Earth. I just hope to God that they make it home safely.

More Stupid Questions

Okay, it's been a while since I posted a hot babe, so here's my question; Indy driver Danica Patrick (pictured), will you be my girlfriend?

Is anyone else worried about Discovery? Remember, Columbia had the same tile issues on its last mission. I can't take another shuttle tragedy.

How will the Eagles defensive line survive without Jerome McDougle, who was shot in the stomach during a robbery today?

Since the IRA has decided to disarm, how soon will the War on Terror end? I'd take five Provos against the entire radical Muslim nation any day of the week. "You call that a bomb? This is a bomb!"

Why the hell is Dr. Phat Tony getting all the attention? Eh, it's probably because he can really bring the funny. Congrats on your new-found fame, Doc!

Why is Wyatt posting yet another Stupid Questions topic? Well, because I'm fresh outta ideas today. Sorry!
