VELCRO was invented in the late 1940s by George de Mestral and he applied
for the first patent in Switzerland in 1951. The story goes he was out
walking with his dog and wondered why burrs (aka cockleburrs) stuck to his
clothing and to the dog; his analysis of the phenomenon and experimentation
gave us what is known as "hook and loop tapes" under the trademark VELCRO.

In other words, VELCRO is not space-alien technology from the alleged
crashed Roswell flying saucer, and its invention had nothing to do with
NASA though NASA is a big user of the various VELCRO products -- there
are even VELCRO hook straps inside space helmets so astronauts can scratch
their noses and chins!

Say it ain't so! I thought Dennis Rodman brought it with him.

"Not much of a disguise."

Did anyone else see Astronomy magazine's Michael Bakich on CNN today?
Were these really the only two things he could come up with that
resulted from the Apollo program? Yeah, that's worth $750 billion.

Geez, with proponents like that...

Whoosh! That went right over my head; I hadn't a clue who Dennis Rodman was
until I just now Googled with "who is Dennis Rodman" -- seems he's a basketball
player or sumtin' who sports unconventional hair styles (pictures of which can
be found at his home page located by Google).

Will he be playing for Earth or Mars in the Solar System Playoffs?
