Obama won't support building 'Death Star'

WASHINGTON (AP) — A "Death Star" won't be a part of the U.S. military's arsenal any time soon.

More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the "Star Wars" inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense.

But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build — an estimated $850 quadrillion — at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget.

Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration "does not support blowing up planets."

The U.S., Shawcross points out, is already involved in several out-of-this-world projects, including the International Space Station, which is currently orbiting Earth with a half-dozen astronauts.

Sad. Owning that bad boy would be a sure way to gain control over our enemies: "Do what we say or we'll blow up your planet!"

Oh c'mon, all they need is maybe a pound of platinum to mint a handful of $1 trillion coins out of. Just create the money out of thin air like they always do, for christ's sake.

Hello, this is Nap. Somehow the site thinks I'm Apex. Super weird, it should know I'm not NEARLY that cool.

Hmm, maybe I'm not that special. It seems to think that EVERYONE is Apex.

Dude, I have no idea... I was hoping someone like you could tell me. I logged in using my regular username and password, and somehow that logged me into Apex's account.

Heeeeey wait a minute... coulda sworn I replied to this. I remember back in the day when I'd leave the G|A browser window open for weeks on end and I'd be able to scroll backward to see when the mods had changed something or when another user had edited a post. Alas, no such luck here.
