    Do they need someone to annoy everyone else? Because I'll take that job. I can be intolerable in close quarters, extremely condescending, and very passive aggressive. I also clip my fingernails. #marssimulation

    Two questions arise:

    1 - Will they pay for my trip to Russia?

    2 - Will there be any Martian sex simulation?

    Failure to provide a positive response to either one will yield a negative response on my part, followed by "N*Wëл Hа X*й".

    Note:
    I censored it. #marssimulation

    A 520-Day Pretend Trip To Mars? 520 days, that's all? That's nothing for Americans. Hell, we recently endured an 8-Year Pretend Trip To Democracy. #marssimulation

    @Sunburn_summer, @Bob Autrey, @psychiccheese: Democracy vs. Socialism vs. a Republic vs. etc., I found this fascinating video discussing American government. And, yeah, "fascinating video discussing American government" sounds like an oxymoron, but in this case it isn't. Vid runs about ten minutes; those wanting their political sensibilities challenged/broadened, check out at least the first minute or so. #marssimulation

    Rosa,

    We have ST:TNG tech already. Tap a little button and you can communicate with it.

    It's called a Bluetooth headset.

    That's right. The entire crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701D was made of douchebags with Bluetooth. Suck on that, Geordi and Crusher!

    But seriously. Since the FDA reported that 4 people have died from choking on life alert pendants, maybe we can make life alert mumu's, housecoats, or even, dare I say it, LifeAlert Slanket/Snuggies! [gizmodo.com]

    This is just a guess, but does it involve messing with the gravity in your room like Melora did in that episode of Deep Space Nine?

    Or does it possibly involve Kilngon Painstiks? Just be warned, they can cause excessive cephalic pressures to build up.

    They just need to re-christen one of the remaining Space Shuttles and call it Titanic...


    That's guaranteed to create the disaster their hoping to avoid, thus securing the needed funding for a clean up project.

    How about combining the two ideas. You use the water for sharks to swim around in, then mount lasers to their heads. Since water can't be compressed, the sharks should be fine!


    This plan still needs to get off the ground, so I'm calling it : Project Runway.

    @David Cowden: They water mass can skip along our atmosphere and/or be heated by the sun. Besides, don't you think the lasers would warm the water?
