Huygens or the Prince?

Just shows how stupid the media is. The number one story from Europe
today is some prince's Nazi armband flap, and not the Huygens probe.
Just goes to show how idiotic the press is. I have abosultely no respect
for them.

Here in Germany it is a little bit different. Some high-society guy from
Munich, a fashion designer, was found murdered in his flat this morning.
Guess what's on all news channels here... :-(

Bear in mind that the Huygens pictures aren't back yet. It's not news
until there are pictures. :-)

Well you see here in the UK we only have a monarchy to keep the tourists
happy so this was newsworthy (I hate the Royals) and real science news like
Huygens is second rate. The only time science gets prime time coverage here
is when it all goes wrong like Beagle 2!

Or exageration to make entertaining fiction:

NASA can issue disclaimers and caveats till they're blue in the face and
still idiot reporters will grossly misinterpret their statements.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear Huygens' landing announced on the
radio this morning. Kudos to KSBR!

The high res jpegs of the titanic Titanian methane muskies should
generate at least 144 point headlines.

You do of course realize that the Nazi's reached Titan years ago aboard
a V-27 rocket launched from their antarctic base?
That "gaff' on Prince Willie's part is the hidden signal that operation
"Edward the IX" is ready to swing into implementation, with the
assassination of his older brother, father, and the queen herself.
An assassination that hinges upon the "accidental" consumption of
Titanic Titanian Methane Muskie Eggs with their caviar at the ESA
celebratory party tonight. Little do they know that the warm and acid
environment of the human stomach will cause the eggs to hatch and the
tiny needle-toothed fish to begin burrowing out within half an hour of
consumption...so don't say you weren't warned- Herr Ota.
And brush up on your German...we will all be speaking it soon!

He didn't make that party costume for Willie by any chance, did he?
As the Irish can tell you, the SAS has a long reach. ;-)

And Huygens is designed to float... which means it weighs the same as a
duck...which means...oh-oh. ;-)
