Your Cometbuster Deformed My Horoscope
Been feeling "off" lately? Does your daily horoscope no longer seem SO relevant just to you? Well, now we know why:
In the wake of the successful Deep Impact probe, an astrologer is now suing NASA over the irreparable harm it caused to "the natural balance of the forces of the universe."
Whoops. Sorry about that. For those who have been suffering more long-standing dysphoria, however, NASA scientists had this to say:
We had nothing to do with it.
Seriously, guys, if an entire comet (the astrological symbol of doom) smacking into the largest planet (the astrological symbol of luck) isn't going to deform your horoscopes, there's no way 300 pounds of copper dinging a comet will.
