When the ONLY toilet on the International Space Station breaks down, do you call Robo-Rooter? (ba-doom shpee!) Thank you, thank you. Tip your waitresses.
Supposedly they rigged a system that let’s them pee into a bag. I imagine you could get the full experience if you watched the scene in Apollo 13 where they dump all the trash on the table and try to build an air filter. Except, ya’ know, they need a floating urine collection device instead of an air filter.
The whole scenario reminds me of this picture of Josh:
I like to call it, “Cause and Effect” or “Preemptive Strike.”
UPDATE:
Oh crap (no pun) they fixed it.

I heard they were catching the turds with nets, or something like that. A whole new meaning for the term "floater". Let's just hope no one eats some bad chicken and redecorates the walls.

Engage Number One. Number Two, full reverse!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
They're dudes, they can piss in a Tang bottle.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
At first when you mentioned Apollo 13 I thought you were referring to the Constellation Urion scene. As it is, I remember one of those grunts saying that they would get some coffee going…doubtful that would be so in your hypothetical case.
Belated happy birthday, BTW!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Man, that's seven different shades of wrong.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
In case of a poop, I wonder, would you have to hang your ass out the airlock while holding on for dear life to the door frame?
And at first glance, the plunger that Josh is holding looked like a cross between Jeannie's bottle and a bong. That plus Taco Bell equals one helluva night.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
even given the nature of the whole taco bell/plunger pic, Josh is still damn cute.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Josh looks like he is sad because of what he is about to do. Or he's sad that he knows he has to be a boy scout and be prepared for the hell that will soon be unleashed.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Thanks dude, awesome.
And, an update:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/science/space/0...
They went through three pumps…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
So, in the pick… which end is the plunger going on? For bad Mexican food, you really need both bases covered.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You're only fueling the fire that is his ego.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Theres no Mexican food in that picture. Just Taco Bell.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
there be enough fuel in them there Taco Bells, probably
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You mean I can't call anything greasy and wrapped in tortillas Mexican? Also, in the war of cheap fast-food beans I choose Taco Bueno.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
RIght, while I LOVE Taco Bell, I would never dream of calling it Mexican food.
It is its own species.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
TURDS IN SPACE!!!!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Damnit! "Floater." That would have been perfect.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
[cat inside space toilet]
DONT WURRY I FIXIN IT!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Except there were no toilets on the Enterprise.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Yeah, but it doesnt go in one direction. It spreads equally in ALL directions. Thats terrifying.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Thanks for the bday wishes!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
If there is a Jeanie Bottole PLuger Bong, Josh knows about it already.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
At least to get clear of the atmosphere.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
his taco bell battle cry is "UNLEASH HELL!"
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
someone up there is TEARING UP space toilets. Ive only ever destroyed a regular earth toilet.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Bueno > Bell any day.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"ISS this is Houston. We've come up with a solution. Uhh…. hold it."
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
To continue with the Bowie quote:
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"Cause and Effect" is a good title for that pic. Or perhaps, "You Are What You Eat."
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Me gusto Baja Fresh.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I wonder if NASA et al check for IBS when selecting astronauts?
Edit: I just noticed that you can edit comments now! Sweet!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
In the time of Star Trek, human evolution weeded out the need for intestines. Bodies learned how to absorb everything. Man, that would come in handy now – we could all live off of Spam and Twinkies and never have to shit again.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
BTW, how'd they score space tickets for $85? Even without a toilet, that's a steal!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Ja no, space toilet vos inwented by Russia. Ze early prototype vos used by Lenin. Used truck battery in early days. Vos considered great honor to carry truck battery for Lenin vile he go poo in space.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Spoken like a true Texan.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Considering the sheer volume of the contents in the bag, I don't doubt that at all.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
that meal was beautiful
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
that shit got me into martian orbit
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Only the urinal was broken: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7436975.stm
So no turds in nets, guys.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The Brady Bunch didn't have a toilet. Does that mean they were mutants? Or time travellers from the future?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"Jeanie Bottole PLuger"
Is that "Jeanie bottle plunger" or "Jeanie butthole plugger? Both are relevant to my interests.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Dude, just put it in the bottle. It's not a competition to see who can hit the bottle from farthest back.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Seriously. How the hell did that happen? He's like… kinda sad lookin… but also like "well… you know how it goes *shrug*"
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
*slow clap*
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
We have a relatively local chain (here in Texas) that's even better than either… or at least more authentic. It's called Taco Villa… it's kind of split in two, but if you feel like something even better than Bueno (or Baja Fresh, in my opinion) check out the locations.

And Rosa's Cafe costs a LITTLE bit more but is usually worth it.

February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
um, nice!
(avoids obvious line about a gravitational slingshot around Uranus)
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The Bradys were probably both – time-traveling mutants. Kinda like Cable and Bishop, but more fun at parties.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Zaphod sure knows how to ruin a good time. :
jk
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I know, I was already with a t-shirt that said, "I went to the ISS and all I got was this lousy turd in a net." Oh well, back to the drawing board.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The Enterprise cleaned itself, so everyone just shat anywhere.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I support this explanation.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Either way.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You SHOULD have gone there.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Cant beat local tacos!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
No toilet = less space tourism. Also Orbits.com
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Say "vessels."
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I hear it's a dark and scary place, though
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Actually, an interesting side effect of surface tension is that in micro-gravity fluids climb the walls of containers, so if you pissed in a bottle the urine would tend to try to climb out the top of it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Where are ze nuclear wessels anyway? Zay are een my pants!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
hahaha. My mate's Prince Albert does that.
