You've Got to Be Kidding?

Elon Musk and SpaceX Reveal First Private Moon Tourist:   SpaceX has just announced that Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon, paying an estimated $35 million to travel aboard a BFR launch vehicle in 2023 - which SpaceX feels will mark an important step toward enabling access for “everyday people” who dream of traveling into space.  Gee, I don’t wanna sound cynical, but I think the economy may have to pick up quite a bit before very many “everyday people” will be able slam together the $35 million to make that flight.  Hell, I’d be happy just to be able to afford gas to drive down to San Diego once in a while. On a positive note, at least these tourist flights won’t disturb anyone living on the moon, because - as far as I know, there’s only one permanent resident up there - and that’s of course the “Man on the Moon.”  No telling how he feels about all this.   And while I’m no rocke...

Astronomers Find Black Holes Swallow and Then Burp Up Stars:   Astronomers have discovered black holes don't just “eat” stars, but they also “burp” them back up as stellar ghosts.  They burp them up?  Well, I can’t say I’m really surprised, after all, everyone knows they eat these stars way too fast.  I mean, aren’t they supposed to wait something like 20 light years for the star to digest before eating another one? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com Earliest Known Drawing Found on Rock in South African Cave:  The earliest known cave drawing in history – a red, cross-hatched pattern believed to be 73,000 years old – has been found in a cave in South Africa.  While archeologists are thrilled, art critics were not impressed, describing the painting as “primitive at best.” https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com Man Planning Murder Accidentally Butt-Dials Victim:  Police in Arkansas say a man's plot to murder another man was reported...

Amateur Artist Botches Restoration of Ancient Jesus Sculpture:   The art world is expressing shock and outrage after learning that yet another Amateur artist in the Asturias region of Spain convinced church officials to let her restore an ancient 15th century sculpture of Mary and Jesus - and then failed miserably. Oh, for God’s sake - so to speak.  Guess no good deed goes unpunished.  Apparently, not everyone appreciates seeing priceless works of art work turned into cheap, garish Disneyesque characters.  Just goes to show, you just can’t please everyone I guess!  And we all know how fussy those art critics can be.   Now I’m the first to admit I don’t really know much about art, but I do know a good piece of candy when I see one and whatever the hell that is on the right - sure looks delicious.  It would be the perfect choice for any Easter Basket if you ask me - so what’s the problem? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
