    North Korea should send its prodigious Glory-Doughboy-Leader to the space station on one of its backyard-fireworks rockets.

    Fuel conservation for space. With the technology they're using on cars for better MPG, they should be able to reverse the process of space based technology that improves our lives on earth to earth based technology to improve the MPP for space craft.

    Jupiter came down to Earth one day and decided to help these two

    criminals to rob a bank. Anyway, to make a long story short,

    they got caught and the three of them found themselves in court.

    The judge sentenced the two earthlings to fifteen years, and Jupiter

    was a bit shocked when he was sentenced to ten years.

    "But your honour" said Jupiter, "I didn't even take part in the robbery!"

    "Yes" said the judge. "But you helped them ... Planet!"

    On July 8, 1947, witnesses claim a spaceship with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep-and-cattle ranch outside Roswell, an incident they say has been covered up by the military.
    March 31, 1948, nine months after that day, Al Gore was born.

    That clears up a lot of things.

    It was a happy occasion at NASA; they had just made the scientific achievement of a lifetime. As they were uncorking a bottle of champagne, Dr. Oppenstein, the head scientist at NASA, asked everyone to be quiet as he had received a congratulatory phone call from the President of the United States. He picked up a special red phone, and spoke into it. "Mr. President," said Dr. Oppenstein, grinning broadly, "after 12 years of hard research and billions of dollars spent, we have finally found intelligent life on Mars." He listened for a second, and his smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a frown. He said, "But that's impossible ... we could never do it. Yes Mr. President," and hung up the phone. He addressed the crowd of scientists staring at him curiously. "I have some bad news," he said, "the President said that now that we've found intelligent life on Mars, he wants us to try to find it in Congress."

    An astronomer is on an expedition to Darkest Africa to observe a total eclipse of the sun, which will only be observable there, when he's captured by cannibals. The eclipse is due the next day around noon. To gain his freedom he plans to pose as a god and threaten to extinguish the sun if he's not released, but the timing has to be just right. So, in the few words of the cannibals' primative tongue that he knows, he asks his guard what time they plan to kill him.
    The guard's answer is, "Tradition has it that captives are to be killed when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky on the day after their capture so that they may be cooked and ready to be served for the evening meal".
    "Great", the astronomer replies.
    The guard continues, though, "But because everyone's so excited about it, in your case we're going to wait until after the eclipse."
