Going through insurance, thinking about adding comprehensive, was looking at the details and something caught my eye, thought it was pretty funny:
"Comprehensive coverage pays the cost of damage (minus any applicable deductible) that occurs as a result of a non-collision incident including: fire, flood, theft, falling objects, vandalism, collision with an animal, hail, malicious mischief, windstorms, civil commotion, explosion, earthquake, water damage, lightning, larceny, and damage caused by flying objects (missiles)".
Maybe just poor wording on their part, or maybe they consider any object flying a missile....

The More You Know
lol. Great GIF.
As usual, I'm a few pages behind, (darn work and family taking up my precious DF time!) but aofarrell2's link to the NASA story was cool.

I find it interesting that NASA had to be forced by law to plan a scientific discovery mission to a moon that is claimed to be the most likely place to support extra-terrestrial life though. And I wonder how this mission fits in with the prez's directive to NASA to reach out to the muslim world? I don't think that any life that may theoretically live in the deep cold oceans of Europa would have heard of Mohammed.
