Remember Neil Armstrong’s famous word, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind?” Good, that means you don’t have Alzheimer’s. The quote has been known as the most famous grammatical error since Julius Caesar said, “I came, I am saw, I conquered.”

Now an Australian programmer said he found the lost “a” missing in the recording. Making it “for a man.” There, problem solved. Now if they could just find the original recording.

Side note: Am I the only one who has always heard the “a” in there?

Leave it to the adult entertainment industry to get themselves screwed over. (Warning: Text in link is quite possibly Not Safe For Work)

The Nobel Prize Committee has rightfully awarded Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello for their work in “controlling the flow of genetic information.” In other words, they can shut off certain undesirable genes.

This blog is officially kicking off our gene wishlist. The following genes can shut off any time soon:

1) The 3 am hunger gene.
2) The hangover gene.
3) The rehashing-a-joke-over-and-over-at-boy/girl-parties gene.
4) The ninjas-are-awesome gene.
5) The emo gene.

Suggestions are welcome in the comments section.

SeriouslyGuys: putting a ball gag on Mother Nature.

One Alameda, California mayoral candidate doesn’t mind being called a clown. That’s because he is one.

Kenneth Kahn, also known as “Kenny the Clown,” is running for mayor of Alameda. He’s never run for office before, but thinks he might be up for the job. His sister, Barbara, said she is not going to vote for him. Send in the clowns.

This is most certainly a case of life imitating art.
