You think I have some agenda? Do you think I intend to promote science illiteracy?

Jesus H. Christ riding a solid rocket booster dressed in a fucking tutu.

It's a silly story that will make exactly ZERO difference to ANYONE in real terms, yet you decided I was trying to assist in giving science illiteracy "further views".

Fine. I linked from the first place I saw the story and I didn't do further research to link to the original NASA/JPL story IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE FEW NIMRODS ON DU THAT WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM.

Forgive the fuck out of me.

Further proof that no matter what the subject, SOMEONE on DU will piss on a good natured thread.

God damn.

OH look! There's another thread over there --> you can piss on!!

Have the fuck at it.

There. Changed the title.

Better?
