No, it's not a joke

40 years ago humanity walked on a surface other than earth for the first time. 40 years later humanity has evolved to such a point of sophistication that we can now advertise on a surface other than earth for the first time.

Yes, it's true. Advertising on the moon.

I recently bought some property on the moon and am accepting offers to erect one huge billboard...

When jokes come true

So, April 1st, 2009 - April Fools Day to some, including the fine people over at ThinkGeek. In the spirit of the day, they released the "TaunTaun Sleeping Bag", which will allow you and your kids to recreate that feel-good scene in Star Wars where one person cuts open a dead animal and shoves another person inside it. To save their life. Or so they claimed.

But I digress. The site got a lot of traffic, a looooot of traffic, and generated a lot of demand. So much so in fact that ThinkGeek is now going to try and make a real TaunTaun Sleeping Bag.

Just goes to show, people will actually buy almost anything.

Speaking of which, I have a mystery box for sale, contents are a mystery but can be yours for only $49.99 plus S/H.
