Cheese on the moon, now the final frontier as now, cheese has officially been in orbit around the Earth.
HAWTHORNE, Calif. – The California rocket company that launched a spacecraft into orbit and successfully returned it to Earth this week has revealed its secret payload — a wheel of cheese.
Space Exploration Technologies on Thursday released photographs of the wheel in a container that was bolted to the floor of its Dragon capsule for Wednesday’s test flight from Florida.
Lo, citizens, tremble at the mighty fromage, quake before the magnificence of our technological brilliance. Orbital Cheese is now a reality.

Somehow small animals are always cuter than their larger counterparts. Enter the Mini-Moo!
CBC – LONDON – A minuscule cow with a taste for contemporary music has been named the world’s smallest by the Guinness World Records book.
Guinness says the sheep-sized bovine from the West Yorkshire region of northern England measures roughly 33 inches (84 centimetres) from hind to foot.
The 11-year-old cow is named Swallow and her owner, Caroline Ryder, said she would spend Thursday either grazing with her herd or listening to BBC radio in her cowshed.
Swallow is a Dexter cow, a breed known for its diminutive stature, but is small even by Dexter standards.
She already has nine regular-sized calves and is pregnant with her 10th. Guinness said her youngest calf has already grown larger than she is.
I wonder if they are as good as sheep for keeping a lawn in order? :)
Hollywood is stupid. The hype, the banal trysts, the obscene amount of media attention garnered. If it all evaporated mysteriously overnight, it would be no great loss to humanity.
What is good though is some of the off-beat weird films that get produced around the fringes of the Hollywood fail machine.
Would anyone lives be the same after seeing such awesomeness as Jesus Christ:Vampire Slayer? Or Sukiyaki Western Django or The Good The Bad and the Weird? Probably not. Let me be clear, I’m not recommending any of these titles to anyone, they are all cheezy schmaltz, but if you want something that is not H-wood approved, these titles would not be a bad place to start.
Any other oddball picks you can recommend? Leave them in the comments. :)
I like it when people on TV are right. :) I’ve already talked about Germ Theory Denial in a previous post, more of the here, but P&T do a great job on destructing and deconstructing the foolishness that people engage in.
Orac has a few qualms, but agrees mostly with what P&T have to say.
WTF?
Justice was soooo close. I could smell the tantilizing odour of righteousness coming from New York City. But alas, all is lost. All is lost. Weep with me. How low the CBC drawers me down:
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Wearing saggy trousers is not a crime, just foolish.
That’s how a New York City judge ruled in throwing out a summons issued to a man wearing low-slung trousers that exposed his underwear.
The New York Post reports that Judge Ruben Franco said that the summons appeared to be an attempt by one police officer to show his displeasure with the style.
The Bronx man, Julio Martinez, was issued the ticket on April 20.
The judge writes that many may find the low-slung trouser trend distasteful and foolish. But he says people can dress how they want as long as they do not offend public order and decency.
I have the joy of living with someone who likes wearing their jeans at their hips. Of all the amazingly stupid fashion trends there has been that irk me: sideways hats, leg-warmers, oversized sunglasses… this friends is my peeve. I have no idea why I would want to show my underwear to the rest of the public, it makes no sense.
What is worse that when you confront these people the best answer they can give is a blank look and a shrug of the shoulders and they look at me in their stunned bovine stupor as if I am the one asking a silly question.
Am I being unreasonable?
