In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream

…unless your microphone is open.

So, you’re an astronaut on the International Space Station.  You’ve got important work to perform.  You’re floating in the most expensive, complex, and technologically advanced tin can ever created.  You have the best hardware that your fellow rocket scientists can provide.  There’s just one problem…

You’re running Windows!

I was just tuning past NASA TV, and stopped to listen and watch for a few minutes.  A member of the station crew was talking to Houston’s Mission Control, and informed them of a computer problem.  One of the laptops in the Russian segment was giving her problems.  She read off the error message, and it was that dreaded “missing or corrupt” screen that silently mocks you to do anything about it.

Curse you, Bill Gates!

Actual call last night:  woman says “I’ve lost my memory, and can’t find it”.

She wasn’t talking about computer parts.

We sent a cop.

Someone snapped a picture recently, and purports it to be me. I can neither confirm nor deny any factual content in this image.

Hot Men? Playing In Their Underwear? What is this “soccer”??

Leave a comment

So, apparently, there’s this game where a bunch of hot men play in their underwear, in front of thousands?  How have I missed this?  I’ve heard about some game “soccer moms” take their kids to, in the mini-van, but it’s surely not this, is it?

Apparently this guy, Landon Donovan had an important goal in the game today.  From what I’m hearing, maybe the winning one?  Well, that’s good, right?  So after the jump, there’s a couple more of him.  Just because.
