Russia Loses Sexy Geckos

I was so sure that this was a metaphor referring to Russian terrorists in Ukraine that I stared at the screen for 10 minutes trying to figure it out:

Russian scientists have lost contact with an experimental satellite filled with geckos that was to be the focus of new research on animal sex in zero-gravity. . . “So, there is only one-way communication,” a spokesperson for mission control was quoted as saying by news agency ITAR-Tass, adding that engineers were looking to fix the problem in case life systems were disrupted, killing the creatures on board.

I should stop reading news before I become fully awake.

  1. I read this while I was still half-awake and thought you were saying it was a metaphor. I then spent ten minutes trying to figure it out before I realized what you’d said. :p

  2. “So, there is only one-way communication,”

    I know how frustrating it is, when you have to work with someone and they are incapable of communicating properly. But I’m pretty sure the Geckos will come up with something.
