In honor of the Pluto probe launch, and all the hype of it reaching a speed 47,000mph due to copious gravitational slingshotting en route to Pluto... I just wanted to make sure that all of you knew that the fasted man-made object (larger than a tennis ball) was Helios II (launched in 1976), which reached a maximum velocity of 153,800mph (16,128,000,000 rods per fortnight).
You can thank me later for this fabulous service I provide for humanity.


Did you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?
My cat can eat a whole watermelon!
Speak for yourself; my head weighs at least 15 pounds, but I'm dense. That, and I'm more machine than man now....
Do you mean a man machine?
