NASA completes mission to kill God (Onion)

Post by Lagmonster »

Okay, I know Onion reposts are lame, but this is a stunning example of art imitating art - or at least following by coincidence.

NASA Completes 52-Year Mission To Find, Kill God

From the absolutely hilarious article:
"I am ecstatic to tell you all today that we have beheld the awesome visage of the supreme architect of the cosmos, and we have murdered Him," jubilant administrator Charles Bolden said after being drenched with champagne by other celebrating NASA employees. "There have been innumerable setbacks, missteps, and hardships over the past 50 years, but we always stayed true to our ultimate goal and we never gave up."

*giggles madly* Oh my...that was a thing of beauty. I got a couple oddball looks for half-suppressed giggling in the middle of the sales floor.

Well, I guess it saves me the hassle of taking him out :D

Laughed my tits off at that article, gotta love The Onion :mrgreen:
Yeah, I've always taken the subtext of the Birther movement to be, "The rules don't count here! This is different! HE'S BLACK! BLACK, I SAY! ARE YOU ALL BLIND!?

Destiny and fate are for those too weak to forge their own futures. Where we are 'supposed' to be is irrelevent.

This made me chuckle a bit.


But, er, how exactly is this "art imitating art"? Where has this been before...?
I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars ... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.

The Salvation War original fiction, which started on this board, grew here, and died here, dealt with the topic of mankind using technology to find and attack god.

Damn, I just posted this in OT. Oops, I shall go and excise it forthwith.

On the flip side, this is pretty damn funny. It would seem NASA beet Mike to the punch.

Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
