Picture of the Day

Enjoy. Submit your caption for this gem in the comments!

13 year old corrects NASA's numbers. NASA agrees

This just hit today and will probably be the most talked about story for about 10 minutes, but seems that the calculations NASA made about some asteroid hitting Earth had some faults. The kid in question, from Berlin, took into account the asteroid hitting one of the many satellites around earth, which would make it slow down or bend its trajectory and obliterate us. Thanks kiddo... Details here. (I'm really sorry about picking the same image as every fricking website reporting on this...but there seems to be no pics of the kid in question)

Simpsons Bad For Children. Replaced with Baywatch

This is just too good to be true. In Venezuela, some "unspecified complaints" from viewers led a national TV station to drop The Simpsons over concerns that it was bad for children to watch. They then replaced the show with that bastion of moral decency, Baywatch. From the glorious reporting of Your Majesty's Press Service.
