NASA Gets Loony

Warner Bros. announced today that the official patches for NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Missions this summer will feature Marvin the Martian and Duck Dodgers. How cool is that? Something about seeing Daffy (er, sorry, Duck Dodgers) with that smug look on his face clutching an American flag just cracks me up. Same thing with Marvin's sincere looking salute.

If I had my way, there would be cartoon characters on every kind of heavy weaponry and artillery. PATRIOT missiles would have the face of Sluggo on them, F-16s would be adorned with Goofy and Donald Duck, and tanks would have Speedy Gonzoles. Because nothing would be better than turning on the news and hearing how many people were killed by Sluggos, Goofies and Speedies. But then, I'm weird that way.
