Wow! This is great. Hope the debris will re-enter safely. But, JJ, where is the "Coanda rulz!" label? Tsk, tsk.

Wow! The tubby fighting tugboat! That'll teach them ayatollahs and russkies to clog up our ports with their garbage scows.

Stop diggin', JJ, and pony up. I got you big time with this one. It's no longer just wikipedia articles, it's the Office of Naval Research putting real money into applying the Coanda effect. Of course, the Air Force has been doing that for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if the rocket that hit the satellite used it, too.

From NASA: The basic device, with one input and two output channels, takes advantage of the Coanda effect to force a fluid jet to adhere to one of two axi-symmetric surfaces..

JJ, I told to you stop diggin' -- face it, I'm on a roll tonight. The more you dig, the more I find juicy stuff.

You didn't even find pictures of Carla Bruni's butt and you think you're on a roll?!

I'd posted several pics of la Bruni, just look it up. In fact, I even saw that one that Dr Boudinho posted, but I didn't think she looked so hot in there, so I didn't post it. It's called standards, you know?

Tonight at one particular drinking establishment, a couple friends argued that this was just a "covert" demonstration by the Pentagon. That is, in a round about way to show the world that the U.S. is capable of shooting down an incoming object from out there. I responded with, "It's hard to say, but it's also very possible..." Then I tipped back another beer.

Sure picked something easy to shoot down, no?

MFT: That's the Putin Party Line, of course. Now, even a broken clock is right now and then, but that happens only once in a blue moon.

Looks like a wrap. Seethe, Pooty, seethe!

Yeah, it does sound like it could be interpreted as a nifty way for the U.S. to, ah, "test" interceptor missiles on defective satellites.

It's also not a bad idea to test these missiles, but moreso in the context of asteroids flying uncomfortably close to our most miserable and beloved planet.
