Having discovered life giving water on Mars NASA scientists are hoping to address further questions posed by David Bowie.
NASA chief Julian Cook said I faxed David our findings last night he was satisfied that life on Mars is at least vaguely possible and we should now crack on with Where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls? and Is it any wonder that I reject you first?
Weve already sent a high ranking military officer called Tom into orbit and asked if he can hear us. Plus I told David the other week that I do occasionally wonder about sound and vision.
But theres still a good 45 years of musical inquiries to tackle so Ive assigned each staff member a song and told them to get on with it.
NASA engineer Joseph Turner said Mainly Ive just been Googling Where do spiders live?
Scientist Eleanor Shaw said: Im supposed to be doing Magic Dance off the Labyrinth soundtrack, but Bowie pretty much answers all the questions in that one as he goes along.
Under What babe? I’ve put The babe with the power, under What power? I’ve put The power of voodoo and under Who do? You do Do what? Ive put Remind me of the babe.

SOMEONE on Facebook has been for a big run while you were lying in bed, it has been confirmed.
It is understood they initially did not want to get up for the run, but it was worth it because they are now very proud.
The run was preceded by a breakfast consisting of carbs which are really important for someone going on a big run.
It has been confirmed the run is part of some training which may or may not culminate in the person on Facebook taking part in an even bigger run with lots of other people.
Meanwhile, people on Facebook who stayed in bed until 11am have decided not to announce that to as many humans as possible.
The big run will be eclipsed at 5pm today when someone else on Facebook reveals they spent the afternoon going up a hill on a very expensive bicycle.

ACTOR Daniel Craig has discovered that playing James Bond is better than almost every other job.

After claiming he would rather slash his wrists than continue pretending to be a debonair super-spy, Craig visited his nearest Jobcentre Plus to explore alternative careers.

He said: “It took me ages to get the touch-screen computers on the ‘Jobpoint terminals’ working because they were quite dirty.

“There was a lorry driving job that looked okay, but it was miles away in Ipswich. Also it’s weird hours, I don’t have a HGV license and the salary was far less than my usual £10.7 million.

“I did see something doing soldering in a factory, it was only £8 an hour but probably my agent could negotiate £11,000 per hour plus a percentage of total factory revenue.

“But when I rang up and said my previous experience was mainly making cars jump over trains and having showers with sexy women they put the phone down.

“There were jobs going at McDonald’s, but I reckon if Monica Bellucci came in and I had the uniform on she wouldn’t fancy me any more.

“Although I suppose I could give her free chips which might impress her.”

Good to see you back, celadon!

Thank you Chrise - after 12 rejected posts ( even after editing out the punctuations - which incidently made very poor reading ), I was on the verge of completely giving up. Let's hope that all the the big hitters out there receive Norahs message.

FACEBOOK’S small tax bill means it is eligible for a range of benefits for people on low incomes, it has emerged.

After paying just £4,327 in tax, suggesting an income of around £20,000, the company says it is struggling to make ends meet and has been forced to apply for housing benefit, winter heating allowance and a bus pass.

Founder Mark Zuckerberg said: “I should get £700 a year in working tax credits. That may not sound much, but it’s a lifesaver when you’re on a low income.

“It felt odd going to a food bank but I’m glad I did because there was probably 15 quid’s worth of food in the box, which is not to be sneezed at.”

Zuckerberg said Facebook had also received a hardship loan from the Job Centre, several thousand free eye tests for its employees and a reconditioned fridge from a local charity.

Facebook user Donna Sheridan said: “I’ve set up a Facebook page called ‘Give some money to Facebook’. It’s the least I can do after they let me put up all those pictures of cakes.”
