A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the U.S. space agency for damages of $300 million, local media has reported.
NASA deliberately crashed its probe, named Deep Impact, into the Tempel 1 comet to unleash a spray of material formed billions of years ago which scientists hope will shed new light on the composition of the solar system.
"It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Izvestia daily quoted astrologist Marina Bai as saying in legal documents submitted before Monday's collision.

I guess she's got a built in excuse now for getting it wrong.You're never wrong with predictions like, "there will be changes in your life..."

The fault, dear Marina, is not in your stars,
But in yourself, that you are a dingbat.

How about offering her a delux room in Club Gitmo?

And if something shifted in someone's favor as a result, does that mean that NASA can collect $150 million from them, for the service they provided? ;)

So that's what Mrs. Kerry's been up to...

The stars are never wrong. People just read too much into them.

You have to admit... it's pretty creative.

How about we be allowed to sue astrologers? "Bad advice today. And three days ago..."
To: Types_with_Fist
Yeah... I'm sorry I didn't think of it first.

Think of the entrepreneurial opportunity for the fledgling private space industry to market to followers of astrology:
DON'T LIKE WHAT YOUR HOROSCOPE HAS TO SAY?
Time-share in our Taurus-2 Program, and we'll launch a probe into a suitable celestial object to alter its course and customize your horoscope to your liking...
ONLY $100,000 IF YOU ACT TODAY!

Clearly you need more data so might I suggest you recreate your experience with the beer and peach brandy shots.
They make peach brandy? You gotta be kidding me, I'd drink the whole bottle in one slam. Mmmmm brandy...

Where she getting her money to file such a lawsuit anyway? From the ACLU? It costs money to go to court.

If she can take it directly to the ninth circuit, she may have a case

Too bad she didn`t file that lawsuit in New York city, the liberal sphicter hole cesspool vomit bucket I am so foolish to live in. She probably would have won that $300 million plus and extra $300 billion as an added bonus so I can end up owing even more in taxes.
