Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 25, 2018

To state the obvious, Winky is just not very bright.

It won’t be the size of a bus when it burns through his mitt.

That’s going to take out a lot more than his spleen.

Some things made in China are not that valuable. (Ducking out now.)

Too bad GC won’t allow pics any more. I’d post one of a catcher’s mitt for Winky.

I usually catch a bus by raising my hand as it approaches. (I can’t believe that I am the first one to say this!)

Winky’s going to catch a falling star. Lucky.

It landed in the ocean northwest of Tahiti, If I remember rightly

Playing catch-up, China has recently (2017) achieved a bold breakthrough in secure communications. In August 2016, three years after the Pentagon abandoned its own attempt at full-scale satellite security, Beijing launched the world’s first quantum satellite that transmits photons, believed to be “invulnerable to hacking,” rather than relying on more easily compromised radio waves. According to one scientific report, this new technology will “create a super-secure communications network, potentially linking people anywhere.” China was reportedly planning to launch 20 of the satellites should the technology prove fully successful.

Blowing them up or interfering with their light beams should do it.

here comes another spleen replacement job….

Now, thanks to science, we know that if it splashes down in water, and if Dr. Mel has replaced Winky’s spleen with the extra-large spleen of a Bajau free-diver, Winky should be able to recover the satellite’s remains without difficulty and live to tell the tale.
