I know it would like suck and all for everybody else, but I am sorry, I would like to be responsible for crashing the universe. I can just see myself saying "Oooppss, I didn't mean to do that.... say you guys should have made this like idiot proof."

Help NASA Find Their Spacecraft
2000-10-17 17:08:34
Earlier this year, NASA, forgetting to convert feet to meters somewhere, managed to send the wrong instructions to the Mars Polar Explorer. So instead of entering a nice safe polar orbit around Mars, it was set plunging straight into the Mars landscape where it made an unfortunate and very expensive new crater on Mars.
This was only one of the many bad things that has happened to NASA lately and it has forced them to rethink their entire strategy for not only exploring Mars, but on all of their other projects as well.
In an attempt to locate the missing craft, NASA turned the cameras of the Mars Global Explorer on the areas where the Polar Explorer is presumed to have landed. Not surprising, given the resolution of the camera involved and the size of the Polar Explorer, NASA didn't find the anything.
And here is where you come in. Take up the challenge and review the Global Explorer's images and see if you can find Waldo... err, the Polar Explorer on Mars for NASA.
Naturally, there are more then a few Pigdog Editors that believe the Damn Al-yeens sabotaged the craft to prevent us from getting a real good look at the Faces on Mars. So, we'll be looking too - for spacecraft from NASA and others

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
