This is why we can't have nice things... in space.

Tool Bag Lost In Space Meets Fiery End

A tool bag lost by a spacewalking astronaut last year met its fiery demise in Earth's atmosphere Monday after months circling ever closer to the planet.

The $100,000 tool bag plunged toward Earth and burned up as it re-entered the atmosphere, according to the U.S. Air Force's Joint Space Operations Center tracking it and more than 19,000 other pieces of space junk in orbit today from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

"Based on its size and composition, we expect the object to completely burn up before hitting the Earth," center officials said in a statement.

The tool bag was lost during a Nov. 18 spacewalk at the International Space Station. In addition to the Joint Operations Space Center, amateur skywatchers also tracked the bag as it silently circled the Earth.

The tool bag weighed about 30 pounds (14 kg) and was about the size of a small backpack. It contained grease guns, trash bags and a scraper tool.

I just sent off two resumes, one with a typo in the cover letter. AWESOME.

Hey, I did that!

Jesse, if it's just going to a general mailbox, it's likely going to a person like me. Resend it and say that you found a typo, would it be alright to replace the cover letter with the corrected one?

A me will laugh, replace it, and think you're awesome.

Actually, that sounds like a good idea. It could make you memorable in the right way

The OMG-WTF Spectrum

This spectrum (I take it) is supposed to classify Internet memes by whether they provoke OMG or WTF reactions by netizens — and all gradations in between. Bacon vodka, for example would be OMG, whereas human-eating robots would be WTF.

I got this guy in Lancaster County. I love his droopy eyes.

I just tried on a shirt that never did button (I wore it over a tank) and it totally buttons now, so I stepped on the scale. I lost another 5+lbs on the trip. I really need to work regular exercise into my routine! I like this.

I'm pretty sure it went straight to the guy I called "Ms." in the address block....

I think my letter for this (editing) job had a typo. You never know.

ETA: Okay, "Ms." not so great.
