$700 Billion Man (Lex Luthor)

Does anyone else find it just a little bit odd that the one man solely responsible for spending $700 Billion is a dead ringer for Lex Luthor?  Neel Kashkari, the Treasury’s assistant secretary for international affairs has been chosen to lead the $700 Billion economic rescue effort.  Now I’m not questioning Kashkari’s (Lex Luther) age, though it is a mere 35 years, I am question his striking resemblance to a diabolic megalomaniac hell bent on world domination.

Another minus in my book is the fact that he worked with NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope.  Now putting aside the fact that I despise NASA, this guy actually helped develop something that looks a hell of a lot like a space laser.

Actual sketch from NASA.

To recap:

  1. Free reign over $700 Billion
  2. 35 years old
  3. Looks like Lex Luthor
  4. Worked for NASA
  5. Has experience building Space Telescope that just so happens to look like a giant Laser.

I’m just saying… this seems like a bad idea.

Space Toilet is broke.

The international space station’s Russian-made space toilet has been broke down since last week.  CNN picks up the story here:

Fortunately, the solid waste collecting part is functioning normally.

Russian officials don’t know the cause of the problem, and the crew has been unable to fix it.

The crew has used the toilet on the Soyuz return capsule, but it has a limited capacity. They now are using a backup bag-like collection system that can be connected to the broken toilet, according to NASA public affairs officials.

I would have thought when you build something as complex as the International Space Station you would do the followling:

A.  Make sure to install two Space Toliets.

B.  If there is to be only one Space Toilet make sure it’s not Russian.

Shitter’s Full.
