Russian Mir = Free Taco

[chas50]

CNN reports that Taco Bell is floating a target 40x40 ft.in the Pacific Ocean, and if the Mir space station hits it they well give everyone in the U.S. one free taco. WOW! Lets see, the Mir is 130 tons, 30 tons are expected to survive reentry. It well then break up into 100 to 1000 pieces, what are the odds? The Russians are taking no chances, they have taken out a policy from Loydd's of London for any damages caused by the falling debris. If Mir hits the bullseye and every American eats one free taco, the real fallout well be the nation wide toilet paper shortage. I smell a Russian Plot! They can be so sneaky....

I'll pass on mine. Anyone is welcome to my free taco.

I've gotta hand it to 'em. That is brilliant marketing!

Hehehe...as if a bunch of underpaid Russian controllers can hit a target that size. You'd stand a better chance of getting a free taco if the target size was 1000 miles x 1000 miles.

Come to think of it, I'd love for the target to get hit just to see a bunch of bigshots at Taco Bell get an instant heart attack.

Hehehe...
