Hello Kitty, Hello Shame

Thai police departments have been having a problem with officers violating minor rules such as littering and parking in prohibited areas. The departments have been reluctant to fire the officers but efforts to discipline them have proven ineffective.

In the face of this, they've decided to attack the machismo of the officers by forcing them to wear Hello Kitty armbands as a mark of disciplinary shame. I have no idea if this will work about one only needs to ask dread Cthulhu about the power of the kitty.

Unstructured Apollo

Has anyone ever noticed the irony of naming the moon landing program after a sun god? Really, shouldn't it have been the Selene program? I blame the Patriarchy.

In any case, all the photos taken during the Apollo program are being digitally scanned in ultra-high resolution and being made available to the public. This is great news for space geeks, everywhere.
