Shots fired into the Davidson Center at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville Times
“Someone fired three shots into the Davidson Center for Space Exploration at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center at about 10 a.m., but no one was injured, space center officials said. The shots, which appear to have come from somewhere along Interstate 565, police said, put a hole in the Saturn V rocket on display inside and broke three windows.”

    I swear I did not do it!  That is one heavy lifter that I love.  Too bad it, and our future was dismantled.

    That bird was shot from the sky ages ago.

    There’s hardly a highway sign south of the Mason-Dixon line that doesn’t have at least one bullet hole in it, and some look like lace. I’m just surprised it took this long.

      A variation on the infinite monkey theorem claims that infinite rednecks shooting infinitely at road signs would ultimately produce the complete works of Shakespeare in braille.

      By comparison the official cost estimate and justification for SLS is described as “three monkeys, ten minutes.”

       The most shot-up road sign I ever saw was in California, near Mono Lake east of Yosemite.  It’s one of those ‘this section of road kept clean by’ signs reading:  “One of them June Lake liberals”.  Guess a gun-totin’ red neck can’t pass up a chance to take a pot shot at a liberal.
