are ya bored yet?

Pluto probe could give clues to origin of life

great article. not.

of course!

it's sooooo obvious!

why didn't they think of it sooner?!?

i mean, seriously, if they can't prove the origins of life on a planet THAT ALREADY SUPPORTS LIFE...

then gee whiz, let's go look on a planet, that's not really a planet, a bazillion miles from the sun.

got to hand it to them though, at least it looks good on paper... and i bet the bill for this one is gonna suck too.

supposedly the information they will get from this most historical of expeditions will allow them to determine how ice freezes... or something.

somehow i doubt that any experiments involving a planet (read: giant ball-o-ice) without an atmosphere (at all) will help with anything even remotely associated with the creation of life in the universe.

what exactly did spending billions of dollars on mars missions accomplish?

nothing.

they still know less than they did when they started.

oh, i know!

why don't they send some brave (read: dumber than martian dirt) men to mars?

that would be cool.

providing, of course, they do it after i'm dead. they're talented enough that they would bring back some weird martian fungus and kill everything on earth.

while that would probably be entertaining, i doubt anyone would really appreciate it.

what precisely would having information about anything not on planet earth actually be good for?

sure, there are those that say we should look out for falling apples asteroids, but so what?

why bother worrying over something you can't do anything about?

though if the earth's atmosphere starts disappearing any faster, what little protection we do have isn't going to last long anyway. :P

anywho, the probe box thingie is supposed to arrive in the vicinity of pluto sometime in 2015.

you just know some lucky idiot is going to get the job of monitoring the thing while it flies through space.

what's he gonna do, stare at a blinking light for the next ten years?

also in the news...

Dutch may have complete skeleton of Dodo bird

why do they care?

what difference would it make?

humans hunted the bird into extinction.

what they should do, is reclassify the dodo bird as the "trusting bird", and reclassify human critters as dodos, or maybe "sadistic poo-heads of mass destruction".

i'm kinda partial to that last one. :P

see what happens when i visit g00gle news?

sad, isn't it?

them newsies are a bunch of liars lil' blog!
