Isn’t it marvellous to hear great news for a change!

I don’t mind the puns either.

Just hope things don’t go too far in the other direction in terms of manned and robotic probe exploration – we need them both – we need to fund them both and not that no-expletive-suffices-enough illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and the funding to the Terrorist government of Israel as it continues to violate UN resolutions, human rights and general principles of Humanity inits continued ilegaloccupationof Palestine and parts of Syria.

I don’t think they knew about cloning in the 3 Stooges era, Einstein.

Since Stern obviously won’t have time to devote to NH, who is going to run that now? Obviously the Pluto probe was just a stepping stone to bigger and better things in NASA adminstration. Makes you wonder how much he really cares, or do they all end up becoming politicans when you get your money from the Government? Can you say Faust?

I think the “preparing the nose for cloning” scene was stolen directly from the 3 stooges. Woody, shame on you!

Maybe Cleave had to drive somewhere to change her diaper. :^)

Is Stern a good choice? Or in six months will we be stealing Erno’s nose?

Wonder who gets that ref.
