Vote “Colbert” as Node 3 Name
We told you last week about NASA looking for help naming their new Node 3 module, and if you are into “The Colbert Report” you undoubtedly heard that he dissed the names that they came up with, Earthrise, Legacy, Serenity and Venture.
“Those aren’t space modules, those are organic teas,” Colbert said. “But you know what name would look fantastic on the side of that module? Colbert!”
Since the airing of that episode, the comic has gotten over 30,000 votes, second to the top name “Serenity” and beating out “Xenu,” Scientology’s galactic ruler. But you have to love the idea that perhaps if we all vote enough, we may see the name “Colbert” painted on the side. You have until March 20 to contribute to the count.

To paraphrase Descartes, “I think, therefore I’m voting for Xenu.” He’s been around for 75 million years, but finally after all that time, L. Ron Hubbard, a middling sci fi writer came along, with the solution to free humanity from its ills caused by Xenu, for the low, low price of only $395,000.95 or so, and make people as smart as Tom Cruise (but not as good looking, unfortunately), and give them super powers! In other words, morons with super powers, but you end up too stupid to know you don’t have any, so it’s great!
Scientology has given Xenu a bad wrap.
