Need Another Seven Astronauts

Remember when you chortled in hearing that? I think another one had to do with, "NO!!! I said Bud Light!!!"

I'm sick remember.

But really. NASA is a fucking joke. Didja hear? they're taking applications for astronaut school and anyone can apply. Very cool.

Maybe except I skipped engineering and flight skool. Though I do have a bachelor's degree. That's all you need to be a teacher.

According to the Hoyle group heading up what used to be the coolest space agency on the planet here are some of the requirements:

To be considered, a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or math and three years of relevant professional experience are required. Typically, successful applicants have significant qualifications in engineering or science, or extensive experience flying high-performance jet aircraft. Teaching experience, including work at the kindergarten through 12th grade level, is considered qualifying. Educators with the appropriate educational background are encouraged to apply.

Um...Since when do significantly qualified engineers and scientists need strapped on a firecracker with someone who teaches coloring technique and the alphabet to 5 year old children?

This is why we have issues getting to the moon.

I'm sure any People's Republic puppet can tell you teachers are better suited to teach government mandated testing than grow bean sprouts in low gravity......

Oh wait...that's only here on the left coast.

Your Score: House Greyjoy


63% Dominant, 36% Extroverted, 27% Trustworthy




Brutal. Opportunistic. Unforgiving. Rising again, harder and stronger, you are of House Greyjoy.



You are a dominant personality. Although you are neither the strongest nor the most cunning, you bend the weaknesses of others to your own advantage. Extremely opportunistic, you are the Wendy Pepper of Westeros, letting everyone fall over themselves and get tangled up before springing lightly over the pile of bodies. When others criticize you, you’re more likely to cut out their tongue than lend an ear. Your arrogance is hard-wired into you to such a degree that you barely recognize other human beings to be of your same species, let alone your equals.



You are also introverted, which means that nobody knows what the hell is going on inside your head. Spontaneous and extremely impulsive, your actions will always take people by surprise. As such, it’s unlikely that you have many friends or allies in the wide world; people just don’t find you trustworthy. And there’s a reason for that, too, which is...



You’re untrustworthy! You are opportunistic, greedy, stubborn, and more-than-willing to climb over anyone you must to get to the top. You are unwilling to compromise on anything, and instead of using strategy, you try to eliminate as many of the other players as possible. Let’s face it—by conventional moral standards, you’re just not a very admirable person. Perhaps if you stopped laughing when people cut their fingers off at your dinner parties...?



Representative characters include: Aeron Greyjoy, Asha Greyjoy, and Victarion Greyjoy



Similar Houses: Baratheon, Frey, and Lannister



Opposite House: Tully



When playing the game of thrones, you play it buck naked, flappin’ in the breeze.
