    I don’t get it…
    it makes it worse that there are no links to any source mate­r­ial, so for exam­ple most peo­ple will look at that pic­ture and have no idea what it really is, and no way of look­ing up why it is sig­nif­i­cant enough to war­rant a defensetech post based around it.
    I think defensetech read­ers are gen­er­ally going to be a tough crowd any­way when it comes to com­edy. This site has always been pretty seri­ous as far back as I’ve read it.

    This has obvi­ous asso­ci­a­tion to mil­i­tary defense. We use the mag­net to bring in all the space junk at the cor­rect angle then aim it all at Russia. It’s not like they haven’t dumped tons (lit­er­ally) of junk on us.

    It seems not every­one was happy with this arti­cle. I’ll show another for those who expected a pro­fes­sional solu­tion. Don’t shrug with the title because it’s from new­sci­en­tist.

    Oh, give me a break. It’s funny, and those of you with­out a sense of humor can just skip it. It’s not like there isn’t enough bad stuff out there. Get over it. Better yet, get a life.

    Boo Boo (throws rot­ten tomatos) It looks like a kids mag­net. So what. I read this page every­day. you have been post­ing alot lately. Most are good and some are just junk… like this one. Stick to what you know or let some­one else post. This is a good page. Don’t ruin it.

    Thanks, folks. I’ll be here all week; two shows a night, two drink min­i­mum. Maybe that’s the prob­lem … I going to talk to man­age­ment about a THREE drink minimum.

    Don:
    It’s hard for me to believe you care much about “the plight of one of the tribes indig­i­nous to this great nation” with a screen name like NDN Don. What are you, a Mark Twain freak or some­thing? Recommend you mod it to NTVAMRICN Don ASAP.
    And for­get the jab about native Americans (that wasn’t a jab at all, by the way). What about my Chinese men­tion? You gonna let that slide?

    LMAO, great title. I’m Indian (the dot, not the feath­ers kind) and see noth­ing wrong with pok­ing some fun at each other’s cul­tures. There’s rib-​​jabbing humor and there’s bla­tant big­otry, I think most of us are smart enough to know the dif­fer­ence and we should chill out on the polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness nonsense.
