A PUZZLE?

Some people have expressed puzzlement that the Britany Spears wedding captured more media attention than the mars landing. I'm not puzzled and I'll tell you why. It's because we know darn well how worthless the information is going to be that we get from mars and it's going to be very scant. The most interesting thing about the whole boondoggle is how much money was wasted. Now the Brittany Spears story; that's something else. This was a story that has some practicallity. For one thing, now that we know that she is divorced this means that she will be back on the marriage market. This means that some day you or I could still marry her. As remote as that possibility might be it's still more applicable to the average person than anything there going to find out about mars.
