Space Station toilet needs a mercy flush

Since the dawn of time, man has dreamt of possessing the heavens. And now our domination of space is complete.

On the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, members of the International Space Station high above Earth were dealing with a clogged toilet. Could anything better demonstrate that humans now feel at home in space? And wouldn't you hate to be the guy who clogged the space toilet?

There's a lot of talk about space this week, thanks to that moon landing anniversary. This is the logical place for me to say that I think the moon landing was a hoax (How could they lose the tape!?!?!), but apparently it really happened, according to this interesting and exhaustively researched web site.
