I like the correlation between US spending on space and suicides by hanging strangulation and suffocation.:har: Stop spending on space NASA and save a life!

[razark]

...US spending on space and suicides by hanging...
Look, some of the folks there aren't rocket scientists, and it wears you down a little. :nope:


:hmmm:
Some of the rocket scientists aren't that great, either.

[Oberon]

There's plenty of rocket scientists on Subsim, thank you very much, just take a look at the Kerbal Space Program thread in the Other Games subforum. :O:

[Penguin]

Great find! :up:

*tones down voice* of course it's all "spurious" - that's what THEY want us to believe... It's a great resource for us who seek the truth. Oberon and me know that there is rocket scientist stuff out there that the public is not aware of - mostly in the mod section of KSP.:O:

Here's another older favorite of me:

We have not had an AQ terrorist attack in the US since the TV program 24 was aired. Coincidence? Well, yeah, actually that's exactly what it is.

Marriage rate in Kentucky


Ah, Kentucky, the only state in the union where when you divorce your wife she is still related to you. :timeout:

That's not entirely true. West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee make that claim also. :D
