I saw a headline recently that I misread to say that astronauts were getting herpes from extended space travel.  I had visions of these multi-month orgies going on up in the International Space Station, astronauts banging cosmonauts and taikonauts and whatever other species of nauts they have up there, then screaming back to earth with a raging case of the herp, all talking to each other and trying to settle on a plan to explain to the spouses and loved ones why there probably shouldn’t be any unprotected Welcome Back To Earth nookie just yet because, well…you;re never gonna believe this but…space gave me herpes.”

Alas, that;s  not what the article actually said.  It would have been so much better if it had, though.

Taking delivery of a new laptop tomorrow, finally.  I’ve been limping along on this busted-ass laptop for three or four months.  Looking forward to beating the hell out of a new machine for a while.
