Today’s only in America tale is bought to you by fine American heroes at NASA who drive the Space Shuttle whilst drunk.
I would imagine that being blotto in Space would be fun, and imagine the toilet humor; shit flying would take on a whole new meaning.
Spot question: how the fark do you random breath test someone driving a space shuttle?
I’m on Scoble’s good side these days, but I kid you not: I went to add Scoble as a friend is Pownce, typed in “Robert Scoble” and this is what I got in return:

From news.com.au:
THOUSANDS of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles…
The scam was uncovered when Japanese film star Maiko Kawamaki went on a talk-show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.
She was crestfallen when told it was a sheep.
Hundreds of other women got in touch with police to say they feared their new “poodle” was also a sheep.
One couple said they became suspicious when they took their “dog” to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.
Police believe there could be 2000 people affected by the scam.
Have you been sold a sheep thinking it was a poodle…or a cat, or even a bird? Or perhaps your poodle bleats and shits all over the place?
This has got to top the weird news stories for 2007.

I always find it interesting when people say stuff they shouldn’t, then try to undo the damage by deleting the post, ignoring the fact that RSS leaves a trail. And no, for the record I generally don’t delete stuff, although I do often regret writing some of it, but hey, I’m also smart enough to know someone will notice me deleting a post I’ve just written.
Anyhow, looks like Mr Shoemoney himself had a change of heart, because this post got deleted:
