I got an incredible email in my spam folder recently. It was the usual fare, with 16.6 million dollars being laundered through my bank account, if I was willing to help out this person with that and whatever, but this one had a really awesome twist. It was from a woman named Susan Walker, a widow of someone associated with the Texaco corporation. She was 69 years old, never remarried, and without children. Here's what she signed off with:
This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.
I await your urgent reply. May almighty God bless you and your family.
Regards,
Mrs. Susan Walker

Voyager
Hey, so NASA rules, right? I'm pretty sure they're the coolest "organization" ever. Please feel free to correct me with figures and facts about how "taxpayer dollars" are wasted on them, and whatever. But dick with this:
The Voyager mission consisted of the launching of 2 unmanned NASA probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were originally designed to observe Jupiter and Saturn, however the two probes were able to continue their mission, and relay information from much further into the outer solar system.
Both probes have achieved escape velocity from the solar system and will never return.
Voyager 1 is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth, having gone 16 billion kilometres, and is also travelling faster than any other man-made orbital object (17 kmph). Cool.
Ok, so everything ^^above this sentence is real. But one last thing... pretty much the greatest thing anyone has ever said aloud - is a description of a superhero named "Kid Cosmos ©". Credit goes to "Dangerous Dave" for this one.
Kid Cosmos is (fictionally), a child raised by NASA, to be a powerful ally to the U.S.A's defence force. He arrives on Earth, when the Voyager 1 probe suddenly re-enters the atmosphere, crash landing in the Pacific Ocean. The NASA recovery team go out and retrieve the "somewhat intact" vessel from the ocean, and open it up, only to find a fucking baby inside. (pow!)
If I ever turn that into a screenplay - watch out Hollywood. :)
NASA... yeah! *fist pump*

Music Video "Worlds"
Man, check out how lovely, positive and just plain great this song is. Plus, the video depicts some kind of poor-production-valued, pseudo futuristic boogie universe, where everyone is "grooving around", and generally just living in the world of this song!! Incredible.
Plus, the band name is "Earth, Wind & Fire"... oh my god. Does anybody think that white people have just always been WAY behind?
