I have been working for the government for many years now. My wife sent me this email that gave me a laugh today so I thought i would share.
When NASA first started sending up astronauts,
they quickly discovered that ball-point pens
would not work in zero gravity.
To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a
decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in
zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including

The Russians used a pencil.

I have been working on my BS degree in IT for about a year now with another year to go. One of the classes i am taking this quarter is a Hist & Meth. of Science. So far pretty interesting.
This weeks discussion topic is solar power / photovoltaic solutions for alternative home power. I was suprised at how much this option would cost. I think the idea of solar power /(PV) is a great “green

An interesting fact I found on a radio website,
For the second straight year, The Wiggles have beaten out AC/DC and Nicole Kidman as Australia’s top earners. The Wiggles earned $37 million last year, AC/DC made $18 million, and Kidman brought in just about $16 million.
Am I the only one that thinks this is wrong?

Saw some highlights on ESPN one night, This looks like a pretty cool event to see. I am trying to talk a couple co-workers into building one with me.

An interesting stat that I heard on CSPAN that was broadcasting a briefing / discussion on the latest budget. They had pointed out that Bush (43) has accumulated more national debt then all of the other 42 presidents combined. They stated that at the end of bush’s first year we had about 5.8 Trillion in debt. at the current rate we are spending, we will be at 8.3 trillion by the end of this year with a projectory of about 11+ trillion by the time bush is ready to leave office. Fiscally responsible are we?

They stated that the current budget proposal does not have enough money in it to support the current operations in the “sand box”, which means that there will be another ammendment requested for this budget at a later time.
The current budget proposal reduces / cuts national programs and bolsters foreign and combat spending. I am all for supporting our troops, don’t get me wrong. When do we start to imporove our lives at home. I am lucky in the fact that I have made a good life for myself. There are many who suffer in this country. There are many schools which are underfunded (plenty in my area). When do we redirect funds to bolster our infra-structure rather than an infrastructure of another country who spits on our grand gestures?
