Woo Hoo - a Robot on Mars

Jun

This image provided by NASA shows the before, left,  and after ...Maybe I just don’t get it. But here’s what I’ve seen.

NASA builds a robot that goes up to mars.

It scratches a little trench in the dust.

Then they let it sit there for 5 F-ing days looking at the trench.

A few little ice crystals evaporate.

And I’m supposed to be shitting myself with excitement?!!!

I saw this blog post over on Dealios (http://dealios.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/can-you-see-the-ice/) talking about it.

Here’s a link to the original article on Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080620/ap_on_sc/phoenix_mars

Look I’m not TOTALLY against sending robots to Mars. It’s just that if they are going to impress me, then the robot is going to have to do more than just find ice.

It needs to also find a bottle of Jose Quervo and some limes. Take that ice, blend it all up and serve those Martians a Margarita in a salt-rimmed fish bowl glass.

THAT’S how you get more government funding <hiccup>.

Introduction

Yes, my name is Forest. But I’m not Forest Gump. Yes, it’s hilarious. Can’t tell you how glad I was when THAT movie came out.

I mean, why couldn’t they make my name a super hero, or a porn star. You know - something that would do me some good.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that. DANG IT!!!

I mean, I hope you like my blog.
