The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) that astronauts used to control their journeys to the moon was an amazing device at least a decade ahead of its time when it was first developed in the 1960s. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it can't hold a candle to the smartphone in your pocket in terms of either computing power or user-friendliness.


Aha, I knew it! We let the Chinese make iPhones and all of a sudden they land on the dark side of the moon. Coincidence? I think not.

The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Call me an alarmist or even a conspiracy theorist, but if Harley-Davidson does indeed start manufacturing in China, it won't stop at moon landings. Pretty soon they will be COOL! We're talking V-Twin Lunar Rover cool!

If I was younger I would be looking forward to hordes of Chinese scooter trash chicks invading our shores!

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
