TAKING A DIVE
NASA scientists have deliberately crashed the Galileo spacecraft into Jupiter. The probe's fiery end came after the end of a successful 14 year mission.
The scientists made their move shortly after they saved a ton of money by switching to Geico.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
If the trials and tribulations imposed on us by Hurricane Isabel weren't enough, we just got socked with another round of bad weather early this morning. Parts of the DC area got as much as 4" of rain in just a few hours. This led to a number of major road closings, including interstates. Constitution and Independence Avenues in DC and the George Washington Pkwy were closed after the Potomac spilled its banks yet again. I-70 had to be shut down near Frederick, Maryland after a 20 foot sinkhole threatened to swallow the highway. And in Loudon County, some motorists had to be rescued from rising floodwaters by boat. With so much traffic being diverted willy-nilly onto alternate routes, the roads that were open ended up with as much as 20 mile long backups.
Mother nature's mayhem was not confined to just DC, as a suspected tornado touched down just north of Richmond.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me to walk outside and see the four horseman of the Apocalypse roaring through the sky, leaving death and destruction in their wake.
Of course, that would only lead to more f*cked up traffic.
