Tyrone Slothrop (0) Funniest 33 minutes ago Hopefully it won't land near a graveyard in Pennsylvania, or a small town in Arizona.

In 1972, or perhaps slightly earlier, somewhere some anonymous Soviet scientist or group of scientists did some calculations slightly wrong...or maybe it was a random manufacturing worker during the construction of the materials...regardless one of these people goofed up just a little bit, and unbeknownst to you that day sealed your fate more than fifty years hence.

Seriously, isn't this how the original Night Of The Living Dead started? Yes, although George Romero later rejected that explanation, and just said "God changed the rules".

All for the low low cost of $1k. Make that $2 per $1 million policy and you could sell 20 million. Only pay out if there is damage. Most likely you'll pocket $40 million (less startup costs), $39 million if you're unlucky. (2) Funniest 31 minutes ago kbronsito: What was this probe to Venus shaped like?

To be fair, the six million dollars didn't cover his ongoing costs.
