I think this is hysterical – check out this article on Time.com that says that sex is prohibited on the International Space Station.
What makes this so funny?
- The NASA spokesperson’s name is Alan Poindexter. I’m an Alan, and I think that’s the nerdiest name ever.
- The fact that Poindexter is convinced that not only has there definitely not been any hanky-panky on the ISS so far, but that it definitely won’t happen in the future.
- The tag above the headline: “Skyrockets in Flight.” Brilliant.

What isn’t nerdy about the name Poindexter?
I thought you were referring to the “Alan” part of his name. I agree – Poindexter is almost the definition of nerdy!
Well, back in high school I thought “Alan” was a little nerdy sounding – maybe for no other reason than there was a nerd named Alan on Saved by the Bell.
On the other hand, it’s still my name, and now I’m *totally* cool, so I guess I was able to work through it.
Yes, you ARE totally cool now. I seem to remember a “Big Al” phase…
But now Big Al is Big Al….And you’re still kinda “McLovin”!
