onoway Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 For people who can't quite see themselves signing up for the Mars Mission, there is an outfit which is crowdsourcing funds for a telescope in space. Among other things, if you donate you can beam your photo out into the galaxy!. A bargain at only a buck... if you want to have your photo beamed into space, that is. I'll keep my buck but they've already got 1300+ people who seem to like the idea. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1458134548/arkyd-a-space-telescope-for-everyone-0?ref=FrankMycroft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Saw a picture today from the Mars rover. Some people seem to think it's some kind of Martian rat, some think it's just a rock. Me, I'm kind of hoping for the rat, but if I had to bet, I'd bet on the rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Huffington Post article has a poll. Incredibly, 28% of responses think it's definitely a rodent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that 20% of all Dutch computer users believe the computer crashes deliberately in order to tease the user. And a remarkable number of british teenage girls believed that taking a shower after sex is an effective contraceptive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Everyone knows that the office copying machines have a stress detector, and that the likelihood of a malfunction is directly proportional to the amount of stress of the user. I would not be surprised if my desktop computer had a similar stress detector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggwhiz Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 there will always be a certain %age of nonsense answers in polls. Somebody ran a poll that I can't remember and it cost 50c a pop to text your response. Nearly 20% spent 1/2 a buck to say "I don't know".
