Now for 20 pts. and without googling/going to wikipedia/whatever, who the fuck was he?

Well.....given the old pictures I'd say he was either a Gemini or Apollo astronaught. I'm leaning towards Apollo, but it could have been both since a lot of the guys held over from that. He wasn't on Apollo 11 or 13. 12 went to the moon, so I figure the name would ring a bell if I heard the name, which it doesn't. So I'd assume he was on one of the earlier Apollo mission.
That's my best guess. I should know more about him, but I don't.
-
I don't know anything about him. I shouldn't know any more than nothing considering I don't care.
-
I want to care, but jeez. "Astronaut dies". Hmmm. Yep.
-
I'd care if he was killed by aliens during a mission.
I'd sign up with the space marines the next day and swear allegiance to the immortal god emperor of mankind.
-
I think I heard on the news this morning that he was part of Apollo 7.
-
Hey I was pretty close. Not bad. If you had just told me his name with no pics I wouldn't have got that far though.
:: Waits for his 20 pts. ::
swear allegiance to the immortal god emperor of mankind.
Someone has been reading a lot of Dune lately.

I'd care if he was killed by aliens during a mission.
Alien and Predator or Kang and Kodos? I wonder how many people would commit suicide that day if we made contact with real Alien aliens. I think with Kang and Kodos though, a lot of people would just play it by ear.
-
I think we made contact with aliens when we met IDE. He's asexual and ugly.
-
OH! OW! Snap! Mr. IDE, your comments upon these allegations?!
-
I know what he's going to say. He's going to say "you are fat, full of diseases, ugly, etc,etc" but the truth is: no, im not ugly, or anything. i'm hot, disease-free and smart. i work at ibm for fuck's sake. (and no i didn't have to blow anyone's dick)
-
They didn't insert anything in your USB port, did they?
-
nope, it was all rain related. maybe they insterted an USB port there, but i don't think so.
-
Rain!? :blink: Golden rain?
-
They didn't insert anything in your USB port, did they?
HA HA! Oh that was awesome.
-
OH! OW! Snap! Mr. IDE, your comments upon these allegations?!
There is empirical evidence to the contrary.
Though some have commented on my skills as being extraordinary, out of this world if you will.
Faye is not fat. She's just easy to catch.
(and no i didn't have to blow anyone's dick)
You didn't "have to" but you did anyway, and thats why we love you.
Can we get a round of applause from all the boys in the mail room?
Would Kang and Kodos start a breeding program? I'd be much more accepting of their rule if I could be put out to stud.
-
Why would they Breed when they could clone. It's much more efficent.
-
Then I'd rather face the aliens and predators.
A chance (however slim) to win out over insurmountable odds or die trying > Slavery at the hands of inept tentacle monsters.
I'm already jacked up and have no qualms with covering myself in mud. All I need to do now is learn to talk funny and battle is practically won.
-
Or you could just turn black and be the Danny Glover Predator killer instead. No need for the funny accent then, jut a dead career.
-
Or you could just turn into a hot chick. Then the Predators practically die for you.
