Drunk astronauts?
This is from an Associated Press story:
"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — At least twice, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a flight-safety risk, an aviation weekly reported Thursday, citing a special panel studying astronaut health.
"The independent panel found 'heavy use of alcohol' before launch, according to Aviation Week & Space Technology, which reported the finding on its Web site."
That'd be the only way they'd ever get me on that thing.

It has been a sock-o week for the bizarre, hasn't it?
You just couldn't find room for this "life imitates Simpsons" story...
"Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the pilots of the five news helicopters and one police chopper over the chase were not talking to air traffic controllers at the time, which is normal."
"Just before the picture broke up, Smith said, "Oh geez!""
You can't make this stuff up.
