SOMEWHERE "OUT" THERE: SPACE, WISCONSIN, FRANCE
ASTRONAUT OR STAND UP COMIC?---CNN.COM
"Yes, I was going to give this astronaut selection my best shot," Mullane wrote. "I was determined when the NASA proctologist looked up my ass, he would see pipes so dazzling he would ask the nurse to get his sunglasses."
Astronaut humiliations
Further humiliations lay ahead, like the time Mullane tried on a NASA-issued condom -- used for urine collection in weightlessness -- and watched the too-large sheath drop off and fall to the floor.
"I'll have you know I've fathered three children with this!" is what Mullane wanted to shout to the condom-fitting technician but didn't. A complaint might have derailed his selection as an astronaut.
these are some quotes from mike mullane, three time shuttle rider. he has a new book called "Riding Rockets" an inside look at NASA and the space program. might be a good read!! i wonder if they had a condom fitting technician during the filming of brokeback mountain? what do you do for a living? why i am a condom fitting technician. life of the party!
WISCONSIN TO ALLOW EIGHT YEAR OLDS TO GO A'HUNTIN'...YOUR SECOND GRADER WANTS A RIFLE
---thepittsburghchannel.com
MADISON, Wis. -- Legislators who fear young people are losing interest in Wisconsin's hunting tradition want to allow children as young as 8 to shoot deer.
Rep. Scott Gunderson's proposal would lower the hunting age from 12 to eight.
The Republican from Waterford said it's important to get kids hunting at a younger age.
But the idea of a lower hunting age horrifies Joe Slattery, whose 14-year-old son was accidentally shot and killed by a 12-year-old while deer hunting in Marinette County last year. He said 8-year-olds don't have the ability to handle guns.
The state Assembly already approved Gunderson's bill. The measure still needs approval from the state Senate and governor to become law.
---considering that some of the parents of these kids probably should not be allowed to use a rifle, this is a tad bit scary. have they not heard the age old warning? you'll shoot your eye out, or in this case, your head off.
IT WAS MONSIEUR MUSTARD, WITH THE HATCHET....IN THE 15TH CENTURY
---NEWS.YAHOO.COM
BREST, France (AFP) - French police who spent two years trying to identify a woman who was murdered by a blow to the head were relieved to discover the reason their efforts were failing: the woman died half a millennium ago. (oopsy!)
The skeleton of a woman in her 30s was found during an exceptionally low tide in December 2003 near the seaside Brittany town of Plouezoc'h.(god bless you) A long gash in the skull convinced investigators she was killed with a hatchet or other sharp implement.(maybe she had been running with scissors?)
Police ploughed through missing persons' files to no avail. A theory that the woman was the wife of a Normandy doctor who disappeared with his family in a famous 1999 case was dismissed after DNA tests.
Eventually radiocarbon dating established that the death had occurred between 1401 and 1453.
"We are satisfied because at least we know the date now. We reckon it was pirates," said Francois Gerthosser of the Plourin-les-Morlaix police on Tuesday.(he "reckons" it was pirates...i did know there were rednecks in france? was this gendarme roscoe p coletrain doin' the reckonin')
i'm experimenting with where my comments go. yes, i would like suggestions of where to put them. no, don't go there with any suggestions.

As a resident of WI, I live in the northern part, that if you don't hunt, there is something wrong with you. Once again, this is a non-issue that we again will spend taxpayers money to pass.
