Right now, as i type this, the NEAR spacecraft is at its point of closest approach to the asteroid Eros. It's about 5km above the surface - closer than any spacecraft has ever been to another body without landing/crashing. Images returned should reveal sub-meter features. I don't know about you, but this is just fantastically amazing to me.

And, in other news, it turns out that the sport... of Dwarf Tossing...

Dwarf Tossing. yes.

...is dealing with some legality issues. Apparently some people find the idea of tossing midgets for fun to be offensive.

I'm not prepared to think about such issues, I'm still back on comprehending the idea that dwarf tossing is a sport.
