How funny would it be if NASA discovered a sign on Mars that read, "Congratulations humans, level 1 completed!"

Another WTF moment, brought to you by a political candidate.
Apparently unfamiliar with "libraries", GOP Gov. candidate Bill Schuette proposes radical idea of "dedicated reading centers" to solve illiteracy crisis in Michigan

I prefer to shop at retailers like Dollar General because I don’t have to get all dressed up like I’m going to Wal-Mart or something

“Klaatu barada nikto” is a phrase that originated in the 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still. The humanoid alien protagonist of the film, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), instructs Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) that if any harm befalls him, she must say the phrase to the robot Gort (Lockard Martin). In response Gort relents from destroying the Earth and resurrects Klaatu from death.
