What happened to the falling spy satellite?

    There were some stories last week that a U.S. spy satellite was falling out of control from its orbit, and nobody knew where it would land. Hand't seen anything on it lately, so does anybody know if it's still tumbling? Do I need to buy satellite insurance still?

    Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner are taking care of the matter.

  5. Was that the satellite that was spying on our private conversations and thoughts? Free at last!

    It's going to land in my back yard and I'm going to make a killing off the salvage rights.

    If Little Man doesn't get it, then I guess I wouldn't really care. But yeah, you're right.

    I think they need to line up Billy Gillespie's players and have them pull the trigger on the missile that shoots it down.

    There's one miss . . . there's another . . .

    The ship might have to return to port to rearm itself.

    Anyone remember when Taco Bell put the target in the middle of the Indian Ocean and if that spaceship would hit there, everyone in the world would get free tacos. The next day everyone would get diarrhea, but it was a nice gesture.

    It was an al-Qaida plot. Thank heavens it failed.

    This reminds me of SkyLab, which was to 1979 as Y2K was to 2000.
