    In reply to Astronauts Sneak Turkey Into the Space Station
    Little did this particular turkey realize that his father's crazed ramblings about how his son would one day fly in space actually came true.

    I doubt that "sneaking" the turkey into space really entailed violating some security rule. I bet that astronauts are allowed to bring some weight in personal fixings when they go into space.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: I bet those "personal fixings" are thoroughly examined as well, and approved on a strict and individual basis. I'm sure it's far worse than airport security. We're talking a multi-billion dollar international facility. Nothing gets on it without being checked at least a few dozen times first.

    Now, these meals could have been placed in someone's personal fixings and have been approved, but I doubt they were snuck on without anyone's knowledge.

    Funny, I always thought Jesus lived in Spain, where they make paella for Spanish Thanksgiving, a celebration of the historic meeting of a guy from Madrid who had a flat metal pan and nothing to eat, and another guy from Barcelona who had a lot of rice and seafood but no decent flat metal cookware. They decided to cooperate one afternoon and made supper together, but got into a heated argument afterwards. The guy from Barcelona beat up the guy from Madrid with his fists, until he was purple. The guy from Madrid beat up the guy from Barcel0na with a red-hot slotted spoon used to stir the paella, until he was striped red. Then they apologized to each other and drank a lot to forget their pain and each went home very plump but not feeling very good. This is the origin of Spanish Thanksgiving, and also why Madrid's scarf color is purple and Barcelona's is red striped. Most people never think about Spanish Thanksgiving, partly because it is overshadowed by pushy Americans with their inelegant sweetened squash and homely bean casseroles and common cranberry condiments and quaint ways of stuffing ducks inside chickens inside turkeys and all that, but it is a real holiday, as real as can be, and that is something we can all be thankful for.

    @ninjagin: You might forget, but thanksgiving is the celebration of when you stole a country from its indigeounous people. You may dress it up with sales and turkey, but that's what it is.

    I know you were only joking but most other countries are ashamed of that kind of past; and tagging on heart-string-pulling 'thanks for life n that' speaches doesn't make it any more appropriate.

    Just sayin'.

    @iheartpie:

    Thanksgiving is not at all a celebration of us stealing land from the native Americans - we did that years later.

    Thanksgiving celebrates the Natives (namely, Squanto) helping the Puritans to survive in the new land where they would have otherwise died.

    The Indians showed the Pilgrims what to plant, how to farm it in American soil, what seafoods were edible, etc.

    In fact, the 'first thanksgiving' not only included all the foods that the Pilgrims farmed and prepared, but also many foods that the Natives hunted and brought as well.

    It was truly the first American 'neighborhood dinner party'.

    Yes, we kicked their asses, destroyed their culture and stole their land over the next few hundred years, but at that time, during that Thanksgiving, we were all cool.

    @iheartpie: Yes, it was in jest, but partly to try and elucidate where Jesus is living these days. Thanksgiving is a made-up, secular holiday for people in the US. For most people, it's a holiday based around gluttony and sports. For more than 200 years, Thanksgiving as we know it was not celebrated. It was a one-hit wonder of a holiday. Frankly, I love paella and Spanish football, and I was trying to draw a ludicrous parallel between paella and football. Where I differ with you (and you're not American so I don't expect you to have done any reading about the holiday) is that Thanksgiving is a marker or a reminder of when British colonists were more starving, humble and powerless than they ever were in the years that followed, and the indigenous people of America feasted with these people as visitors -- not welcome guests, not friends, and not conquerors. It was Spain, and Spaniards, that murdered the aboriginal people of the Americas, stole their wealth, and destroyed their civilization to a greater extent than all other visitors. If anyone should feel thankful for the c0lonization of North America, it is Spain and Spaniards.

    Classic angle used to hide that you're a little overweight.

    I'm sure he lists his body type as "average" too.

    Someone is going to be so let down when they meet up for burritos at Chipotle.
