Why did the ninny NASA name their latest drone
''Curiosity'' of all things...?!?
Of all possible names for it, couldn't they have gone with
something more... valiant, awe-inspiring, noble perhaps?
Something like ''Searcher'' or ''Explorer'' -
names were taken already, eh?
Or they just lacked that latest brand of
''All-American Oomph''
that was so eagerly sought for here...
Another fine way to misuse enormous sums of cold hard cash
that could have done a hell of a lot of good right down here
on terra firma - it only there was a will for that...
Only in America indeed
can one find all the arguments for such a waste of funds,
time, effort and energy
not to mention media coverage
AND also find so many amusing
derisive and right-on lampoons
of the very same endeavour
questioning with style
the very heart of the matter
and raison d'être of the entire thing!
One last one, before we go,
one that is both a fine example of photoshop wizardry
and a finer example still
of what a real good use that can be made
of social networks and the like:
share gems like these
to make the powers-that-be know
that we disapprove of what they're doing
This is, indeed, the only welcome
that they deserve to get
anywhere they go!
Hmm...
Makes me wonder now,
in parting,
if the fact that the
Total Recall remake
(in theaters right now)
does not make it to Mars
as the original did
had anything to do
with Curiosity
being there...?
Hmm...!
