<p>If anyone speaks Turkish, BTW, I&#8217;d love to know what young master Ismail YK is actually saying. (Call me crazy, but it <em>might </em>be something about picking up hot chicks on Facebook?) Also, the games must really be improving over there because clinging to a helicopter while you escape the tidal wave that destroys New York &gt; FarmVille.</p>

<p>This falls under the category of grating-larious. I could not stop laughing but I was also shouting expletives at the same time. Yes, they go through ALL ONE HUNDRED WAYS TO LOVE A CAT. Note the video running time is slightly over thirty-five minutes. After you hear the song for a while, you will long for a time when it was unknown to you and could not dominate every thought in your head. This is commitment to a premise at its finest and will most certainly become the new &#8220;99 Bottles&#8221; for long road trips.</p>
<p>How many ways to love a cat can YOU sit through? I got to thirty-eight!</p>

<p>So. To reinvigorate America&#8217;s waning interest in the space program, NASA has taken an inspired and admirable step; creating a freeware game called <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/ltp/games/moonbasealpha/index.html">Moonbase Alpha</a> where the player takes on the role of an astronaut working to resolve an emergency on a hypothetical moonbase in the not too distant future.</p>
<p>However, in what amounts to the Internet equivalent of forgetting to convert to metric, they assumed, in their naiveté, that people would actually use it for its intended and extremely boring purpose.</p>
<p>As the video below demonstrates, humanity at large has much loftier aspirations and will not be constrained.</p>
<p>(<strong>NSFW</strong> robot language. But if your boss doesn&#8217;t think that this is hilarious, then I humbly contend that you should find a better place to work.)</p>

<p>Tonight, I can sleep soundly knowing that my tax dollars have gone to good use. I&#8217;m not being sarcastic. This is better than Medicare.</p>
<p>SNAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYK!</p>
