Nachimir Posted March 31, 2009 Hah It amuses me that the astronauts generally get on well, but their political/military masters don't, right down to the point of inflicting this kind of trivial punitive rubbish. Speaking of good headlines from the BBC: http://www.spaaace.com/cope/?p=97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted March 31, 2009 Indeed, it says something either quite poignant, or incredibly pretentious, about humankind: People are just people, it's our unnatural constructions (like governments, etc.) that get in the way. (*sniff*) Also, that is one awesome headline. I wish I'd seen it live for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coldkill Posted April 6, 2009 The Toilet row was just plain silly. Just. Plain. Silly. Well, sucks to be an astronaut, the whole risk of dieing horribly when taking off, in space, eating, sleeping, working, coming back to earth. Now they have to put up with separate porta-loos.

SignorSuperdouche Posted April 17, 2009 Rape is not terribly funny, but this line made me smile: Olga was resentful when she was taken by the police. They make it sound like she was just a bit miffed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted April 17, 2009 I have a feeling something else went on here that's not being reported. "Viktor went straight to hospital as his genitals were injured, and then to the police." I mean is this just chafing damage, was something set on fire, or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanJW Posted August 15, 2009 Heh, yeah, it was a proper professional heist (just like in the movies!) At least one paper is reporting that they were wearing prosthetic make-up to disguise their appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eljay Posted September 18, 2009 Tesco's responses are actually pretty good! "Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood."
