Why did the Stormtrooper buy an iPhone?

He couldn’t find the Droid he was looking for.

Aliens on the Moon?

I am equal parts skeptical and stoked about the upcoming documentary Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed, airing tomorrow night (Sunday, July 20) on the SyFy Channel.

On one hand, it does feature commentary from Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Edgar Mitchell, as well as rare mission photos purporting to show evidence of structures and crafts on the lunar surface.

But on the other hand, the show was produced by Robert Kiviat.  This is the man who brought us the absurdity that was Alien Autopsy, the “documentary” from 1995 that was so poorly faked I expected it to have blooper reels.

Oh, who am I kidding? They had me at “aliens.”

On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Daily Record startled the nation with a bold headline.

And then the cover-up began.

Behold! The Vampire Squirrel of Borneo

Scientists recently shot a rare photo of the elusive Vampire Squirrel of Borneo, seen below looking like a short, angry weaponized kangaroo. The Vampire Squirrel, which gets its nickname from its rumored taste for deer blood, is twice the size of a regular squirrel and has the bushiest tail of any known species.

In summary: Weirdest. Squirrel. Ever.

Taste for blood? Check. Giant afro? Check. Totally nuts? Check and mate. 

 

NASA Launched a Flying Saucer On Saturday

In the “Clearly They’re Now Just Messing with Us” news category, NASA conducted a test flight on Saturday for its new vehicle, which just happens to look exactly like a flying saucer. Designed to help slow the descent of heavy spacecraft into Mars’ thin atmosphere, the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) failed to deploy its parachute during the test but NASA officials still declared the experiment a success.

A NASA spokesperson stated “The test vehicle worked beautifully, and we met all of our flight objectives. *Also, in no way did we reverse-engineer the craft’s design from anything found at Roswell. Werner Von Braun who?”

*Full disclosure: I may or may not have made that last bit up but you know they were thinking it.
