From Monday’s Daily Show: “Man took his first tentative steps on the moon in 1969 and since then, frankly, its been a bit of a disappointment. Doesn’t really do a whole lot except sit there controlling tides and trying to make stuff romantic…”
And later, after making fun of SMART-1’s (an ESA spacecraft) plan to crash into the moon: “Is that all they got now, have we truly run out of experiments to do on the moon, we’re just gonna crash something into it and see what happens? There’s so much still exciting to see! I got an idea — why don’t we send a werewolf to the moon? Because I wonder: would being so close to the moon would make him a werewolf all the time? Or would he only transform when standing on the light side of the moon? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE NEED ANSWERS TO!”
I love it when Jon Stewart makes fun of my business.
My favorite: “That’s an awful long way to go when you can just read the Bible.”
It’s funny; I was just a kid but I remember them landing on the moon in ’69 so clearly. Some company started selling these chewy snacks that were kind of like long, skinny Tootsie Rolls; I think the astronauts had them to the moon or something. We thought that was pretty cool to eat the same thing as an astronaut.
