Speak of the devil: Colbert goes astronomical!

Odd coincidence the last story I commented on was about Stephen Colbert, but get this: the son-of-a-bitch just got his name elected for a new room at the ISS (International Space Station) following a 'messed-up' naming contest by Nasa.

NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.

Lol. How randomly silly – my favorite sort of comedic story. :P
