Colbert to the stars!

Stephen has put out the call:

Name the NASA Module after Stephen!


NASA is taking votes on the name for the new module on the International Space Station. Stephen has decided, and rightly so, that his name should be emblazoned thereon, so that his name shall live forever, or until the station's orbit devolves. Last night he exhorted us, his minions, to go out and win the battle.

Help NASA Name Node 3

Click on the above link to go to the NASA site. Near the bottom on the right, you'll see the voting form. Click "Submit your own" and write in "Colbert" and hit Vote!

As of this writing, Serenity (one of the NASA-supplied original names) has 86%, but Colbert is the top viewer-submitted name, so we're definitely in the running.

For Stephen's eternal glory, onward!

How cool is this?

From contactmusic.com: LORD OF THE RINGS star ANDY SERKIS is to hit the studio with late punk icon IAN DURY’s backing band THE BLOCKHEADS to re-record the HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICK hitmaker’s beloved tunes. The Blockheads have given Serkis their blessing to play their frontman, who died in 2000, in an upcoming biopic and will rehearse classic tracks with the actor, who once confessed that Dury’s Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 3 was among his favourite tunes of all time. Blockheads star Mick Gallagher says, “Andy Serkis’ll do a great job… We’re recording 12 songs for the film; it’ll be live and really retro and straight ahead.”


Oh yes, please. With a side of sauce.
