The U-shape and red highlights on it make it look like a child’s play magnet..(I suppose)

After reading the subject I went “wtf?”

Stick to the military, you’re no comedian.

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.

I agree with Erik, nothing but garbage comes through here anymore. If things don’t change for the better soon I’ll have to delete your rss feed from my computer and my life… :(

I’m wondering how the cleaning crew cleans the underside of the glass floor?

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.
