Some more goodies for the Thursday edition of our paper [8D] [:p] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />NASA Ingenuity <br /> <br />When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they <br />quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work <br />in zero gravity. <br /> <br />To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade <br />and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero <br />gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any <br />surface including glass and at temperatures ranging <br />from below freezing to 300 C. <br /> <br />The Russians used a pencil. <br /> <br />****************************************************** <br />Intelligence <br /> <br />Two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. <br /> <br />One said to the other, "Why are we down in this hole <br />digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in <br />the shade of a tree?" <br /> <br />"I don't know," responded the other. "I will ask him." <br /> <br />So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. <br /> <br />"Why are we digging in the hot sun and you're standing <br />in the shade?" <br /> <br />"Intelligence," the boss said. "What do you mean, <br />'intelligence'?" <br /> <br />The boss said, "Well, I will show you. I will put my <br />hand on this tree and I want you to hit it with your <br />fist as hard as you can." <br /> <br />The ditch digger took a mighty swing and tried to hit <br />the boss's hand. <br /> <br />The boss removed his hand and the ditch digger hit the <br />tree. <br /> <br />The boss said, "That is intelligence!" <br /> <br />The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend <br />asked, "What did he say?" "He said we are down here <br />because of intelligence." <br /> <br />"What is intelligence?" said the friend. <br /> <br />The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, <br /> <br />"Take your shovel and hit my hand." <br /> <br /> <br />
