Father & Son Send Camera to Space

A Brooklyn Dad & his kid [mostly the Dad] made a home-made device to send a camera to space. They used a weather balloon to float up into the upper stratosphere and an iPhone to track it once it landed.

Scientists are researching other uses for this device, possibly to lift the toilet seat so guys don't have to reach down and touch it. No man wants to bend over and touch the pee-stained underbelly of the toilet seat but if we don't then women complain about pee left on the seat itself. I think the best solution here is for scientists to figure out a way for women to grow a penis, then we can all pee standing up. However we all need to remember not to poop standing up. I think I may have gotten off topic...oh yeah-SPACE!!

New Planet Tries To Be Earth So Bad

O hai Gliese 581! Sitting a mere 20 light years away is a red dwarf star with a little planet creatively named Gliese 581g [should have been named Earth 2: 3D!]. There are over 400 known planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system; however this one in particular bears more significance than the others. The reason being that it sits right in the habitable zone which is just the right distance from its sun to allow liquid water. Any closer or further and the water would boil off or freeze. Since this distance is just right, if there is water it could also contain life, and if it contains life, it could also contain dinosaurs.

This planet is about 3-4 times as massive as ours so in order to get around, these dinosaurs would surely have invented flying cars by now. These flying auto-gyros would run on Unobtanium, a mineral which would be valued at 20 million a kilo. Obviously we'd need to steal it from them so the best way to do that is to fly to their planet, learn their ways and then blow up their hometree.

Now all this is purely speculation, there's no telling for sure if there's water on that planet. But according to the artist's depiction it looks just like Pandora and thinks it's pretty hot shit. Again speculation but if there is water scientists are pretty positive that there could be water parks, most likely with wave pools and lazy rivers.

90210 Day!

For those of you living in caves that don't have calendars, today is 9/02/10!

The date only comes around once a century, so if you miss your chance to celebrate today, you'll have to wait another 100 years. By that time you'll be celebrating the show 90210-3D: In Space! The cast would include people like girls named Amberly, or Great Britani, and the guys will have twelve packs from playing so much space-racquetball. Also at this point flying cars will still have yet to be invented, but we will have Apple iCars, *fingers crossed*.
