finally, urine recycler passes astronauts test!

that was the headline that made me giggle. then this quote made me guffaw: "Not to spoil anything, but I think up here the appropriate words are 'Yippee!'" space station commander Mike Fincke told Mission Control early Tuesday morning, shortly before bedtime. "There will be dancing later," Mission Control replied.

it's got me thinking that for all my bitching & moaning about my job, maybe it's not so bad. at least i don't have to drink my own urine. that's something to be thankful for. let's hope the astronauts don't have to begin work on recycling any other bodily functions. (yeah, potty humor!)

in other news: besides a crapload of deer, we got us some UFOs in lake county.


and finally: copax sent me this link and it's provided me with many laughs. apparently swedish bands in the 70's were the ugliest people on the planet. it's a fact!!!!
