Oops, I goofed when I hit the publish button, this article wasn’t ready yet! I thought I was simply hitting the “Save Now” button. I guess I had the jitters because of my US Embassy Visa interview today (which went very well).
The article was perfect and ready later in the morning, but then, horror of horrors, my computer froze, and I lost all my work. Since I don’t have a computer at home right now, that doomed the entry. I tried to write it again in the afternoon, but my inspiration got sucked into the vacuum of a dreary day of work.
It was supposed to be a spoof article about the US military setting up a decoy satellite, the Chinese spotting a picture of Darth Sidius on a bulls eye on it, and deciding to build their own decoy, and both governments saying “它擊落” (shoot it down)…which might have actually happened, who knows.
Here are the links anyway:
- Time Magazine story
- CNN coverage of a coincidental fatal accident
- Another TIME Magazine story
- CNN’s take on the shootdown
- The Shuttle was airborne (and there was an earthquake in Nevada…hmmm)
- Another CNN story
