Quote of the Day:

Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.

Oscar Wilde

  1. Vaginal Orgasms

    And if you are a woman that doesn’t get them don’t feel inferior.

    But you might wanna contribute for Greg’s other book, Stop Worrying: There Probably is a G-Spot

    Waka waka waka! ^_^

  2. UFO cover-up
    Sheesh it’s almost embarrassing to hear.

    Mission Control 1:”Yeah the camera it’s showing three reflections”

    Mission Commander: “Do you see that?”

    Mission Control 2: “Um, we do see that”

    Mission Commander: “Ok”

    Mission Control 2: “Ok we are seeing 2 or 3 objects. Can you confirm that it’s just the one and the rest are reflections” (So that my companion here doesn’t end up looking like a complete idiot, I might add)

    Mission Commander: “No, there are 3 objects”

    *someone kicks him*

    Mission Commander: “Um yeah there seem to be pieces of foil”

    One of the upsides of the end of the shuttle era, is that it prevents these kind of embarrassments 😉

    Yeah, you might argue that there was a genuine concern from the mission commander about the objects because of the possibility that they were chunks of the shuttle’s thermal protection, but why didn’t Mission Control considered that possibility in the very first place, given the fact that the reason they were conducting the inspection was to ensure the safe return of the craft?
