I had a nice guffaw when I heard that Bush will increase the chance
of success for a Moon shot by launching during a full moon.

Of course, I'm not sure that Weekend Update on SNL is really news :)

Sun...at night...when it isn't as hot.

Hey, it is far better than any other "news show" on other channel. It
is right up there with The Daily Show and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

In one of his short stories, Arthur C. Clarke used that phrase, going near the Sun at night, as a flippant way of saying that the exploration ship went in the shadow of a sun-grazing asteroid.
So yes, I believe that it *is* possible to go near the Sun at night. :-)

Hey if it's not on CNNNN or the Weekly Daily Show I don't consider
it a credible source.
