This married couple was sitting in a fine restaurant when the wife looks over at a nearby table and sees a man in a drunken stupor.
The husband asks "I notice you've been watching that man for some time now. Do you know him?"
"Yes" she replies. "He's my ex-husband and has been drinking like that since I left him seven years ago."
"That's remarkable" the husband replies. "I wouldn't think anybody could celebrate that long."
Animal astronautIn 1961, the first U.S. satellite carrying an animal was launched by Mercury-Atlas 5 from Cape Canaveral. The passenger was Enos, a five-year-old chimpanzee, on a 2-orbit ride for 3-hr 20 min. The test was the prelude to John Glenn's orbital space flight. Enos experienced up to 7.6-G accelerative force during the launch. During the flight, Enos carried out the lever-pulling performance and psychological tests that he had trained on for the past 16-months. Enos performed the tasks well, and received a limited number of shocks for incorrect answers. Even when the input device failed and Enos received consecutive shocks even if the correct answer was given, the frustrated chimpanzee continued to give answers until the end of the flight.[Image: Enos wearing space suit and lying in Flight Couch] |
