    This is Digg. We can't even answer the question, "How do you use a condom?" let alone over-use one.

  • anareric, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8It could be a hat, or a broach, or a pterodactyl.
  • unreal32, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14First thing I thought of was "used condom" as well.

    @digitalgopher: Is there such a thing as an "over-used" condom??? I mean, once you use it once, it's used. You don't use it again. You can never "over use" a condom because you shouldn't be reusing them...
  • geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Uhh, since when does it cost a couple of million dollars to take some digital stills?
  • SuperCujo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"President issues national day of morning."

    hahahha

    I know it was probably an unintentional mistype, but if you think about it, it isn't inconceivable that Bush would want two 9 AMs in one day and a morning sunset...
  • JaytB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It looks like god's aero- semi/transparent 3D mouse cursor although it's probably something that fell off the Atlantis space shuttle. Here you can find some more images of 'it': http://collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000427.html#debris

  • t0ken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5...and maybe you're just a space jellyfish trying to make the theory of your kind disappear in a puff of logic?
  • MrBabyMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's...A Retro-Encabulator!!
  • MasterFunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I, for one, welcome our new Alien Jellyfish overlords.
  • griz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The sky may be more blue over the oceans, but it certainly is not blue because of the oceans.
    The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering, the scattering of light off air molecules in the atmosphere.
    Longer wavelengths pass straight through while shorter wavelengths (primarily blue) are scattered in different directions, some of which will be scattered in the direction of an observer.
  • TheOther1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8@ vamper

    "their going to take a few days to investigate the situation...every few mins they spend up their cost money im not really saying its a waste of time or money but anything they do up their cost money"

    But using a dictionary to find out the differences between they're, there and their is free!
  • SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Anyone who is wise in the ways of science would know that this is obviously a duck.
  • ZerozenOnes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Flying with gel? Isn't that forbiden now?
    OMG! Is is a Space-Taliban IED !
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9I don't know if that was sarcastic or what, but the sky isn't blue because it reflects the ocean. In fact the ocean is blue because it reflects the sky. The sky is blue because of the way light interacts with materials in the atmosphere. (This should have been posted in reply to skoles comment. whoops)
