Apparently, if the Russian space station Mir falls in the correct place, every U.S. citizen is getting a free taco from Taco Bell. While the thought of Taco Bell tacos may not be the most appetizing, the simple notion that they are risking giving out 280 MILLION FREE TACOS is hysterical. I have my fingers crossed, just to see how they will deal with this. It is especially noteworthy that you can get a live account of Mir's satus on the Taco Bell website.

Another way to look at it: Mir hits a 40 foot by 40 foot square in the South Pacific, and Taco Bell goes out of business. GO MIR GO! :) (Well not really... shhh)

According to Mister spoil sport Sylvar they have an insurance policy. shush!!




Update: Alas. It missed. No free tacos.
