It’s a small world: I recently got operated on by Mr. Fuk Li’s brother, Dr. Albert Li, MD.

I wonder what Mr. Fuk Li said when the glitches started happening?

One of the scout ships must have flown too close to the lander...unlesss it was intentional...the fate of the armada will not be compromised!

It’s not a glitch. It’s a feature.

I wonder what Mr. Fuk Li said when the glitches started happening? Mr. Li has two sisters. One is named Uhg and the other is called Hoem.

Mr. Li has two sisters. One is named Uhg and the other is called Hoem. Interesting. I though his middle name was Uhg.
To: TheWasteLand
He also has a half-sister named Ghast.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A glitch with a Mars orbiter relaying commands from Earth delayed plans for the Phoenix Mars Lander's second day of activities on Tuesday, NASA officials said. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter turned its UHF radio off, possibly because of a cosmic ray, cutting off communications with the lander, said Fuk Li, manager of the Mars exploration program for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
The guy's name is FUK LIK

/my grandpa’s favorite jokeMy grandpa's favorite joke consisted of him pointing a gun at my feet and telling me to "dance nancy boy". Just kidding. Mostly ;)
To: TheWasteLand
I wonder what Mr. Fuk Li said when the glitches started happening?His team didn't want the news to disturb him, so to keep him away from the console they told his assistant, "Get the ... outta here!"

Whew.
Hopes up for Phoenix. A characteristic of the phoenix is rising from the ashes.
