My girlfriend keeps complaining about me stalking her and doing weird stuff.

Ok, technically, she's not my girlfriend... yet.

"Although NASA's race to the moon blasted off in 1957, the Chinese allegedly sent an astrologer into space centuries before. As the legend goes, Ming Dynasty astrologer Wan Hu attempted to fly to the moon in the 1500s. Strapped into a chair powered by 47 gunpowder rockets, Wan Hu supposedly sailed into the atmosphere and was never seen again."

And five hundred some years later, we now have the Wan Hu Reenactment clubs.

The report "He ascended to the heavens on a pillar of smoke" was the scribe putting a positive spin on "He done blowed himself up REEL good." When delivering an after-action report to the Emperor of China, one is wise to remember that in that court, they do not shoot the messenger who brings bad news.

They behead him.

That was a lot of typing for an image that is a clear case of 'hold my beer and watch this' stupidity.

He looks a lot like a young Stephen Hawking but most of us respect him too much to take this observation any further.
