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.

Find out who her lawyer is. If she wins, I want to hire him!
NASA had no comet.
My daughter and son-in-law introduced me to this:
Make peach jello, one cup boiling water to the pack,
Instead of adding another cup of cold water ... substitute one cup of peach brandy.
before it sets, using a turkey baster (or if you're sober, go ahead and try to use the pour spout of whatever you're mixing this stuff up in ...) and fill plastic shot glasses.
We (they) use tin pie plates to utilize the fridge space better ... let chill/gell.
Use a spoon, your tongue or more clever ingenuity to extract the jello/y 'shots'.
Kinda' nice, actually.

Jellyfish = Jello + Everclear. You'd need to be bombed to file this lawsuit.
What's everclear?
Be wary of outdoor adventures today, Marina. Bats may fly out of your belfy. The Loon is in the Dingbat this evening, meaing that your daffiness is especially strong. The moon is on the wane, but there's still plenty of lunacy left in your life. The next few days are a good time to play it safe, or, better yet, kill yourself.
Everclear -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everclear is a brand of pure grain alcohol, available in 190 proof (95%) and a less common 151 proof (75.5%) variant. It is produced by the David Sherman Corporation. Because of its strength it is illegal in many US states, and probably not available outside USA (at least not the 190 proof variant). If Everclear is not sold where you live, plain vodka can be used instead (Everclear is basically a strong form of vodka).
Warning: Can be lethal when used as shots or substituted for water in Jello shooters.
The Ruskies are getting pretty familiar with the "lawyer thing".
We used vodka and Everclear in jellyfish, back in my old fraternity daze. Vodka if you just wanted a buzz, and Everclear if you wanted to get plastered. To this day, I refuse to even touch a jellyfish, and aside from the occasional vodka martini: shaken, not stirred, I stick with beer and stay away from hard liquor.
"She should sue in the Intergalactic, Celestial Court."
That's located in Washington, D.C., in the building
with the Ten Commandments and the five folks wearing
black robes.
I read her horoscope, it said she was a looney fruitcake, so it doesn't distort her horoscope.
Her horoscope should have predicted this coming and adjusted itself. That it couldn't is proof it was already worthless.
Not bad. One press release, and she gets a half-million in free publicity for her astrology scam!
Do you think the lawsuit is for some publicity or she actually expects $$$? Of course there's no shortage of attorneys.....
ROOTERS would think that this was news.
That is what the Hollywood folks think.
