Heh. Up here in Seattle, the fireworks didn't go off at midnight.

Are those pizza boxes to the right of the float? It looks like they
are stacked similar in fashion to some beer cups after some of our
softball games at GSFC.

A JPL float isn't done until the height of the empty pizza boxes exceeds the
height of the float.

At least it doesn't likely have a hidden death-mobile inside, like a
cake float with the cake decorated with the words "Eat Me". Animal House.

I didn't think that JPL worked on manned spacecraft, so by definition,
no "death mobiles..."

You don't remember the ovens on Viking that were designed to bake to
death any microbes that might have been found on Mars?
