The list of spin-off benefits of the space program has increased by one item: battered seafood:
In January, Long John Silver's offered to give America free Giant Shrimp if NASA found conclusive evidence of an ocean on Mars. To celebrate the success of NASA's Mars Rover project, the company is going to give America free Giant Shrimp on Monday, May 10.
(Via Making Light's comments, where else?)
This is not from The Onion, despite the presence of this sentence:
"NASA is making history on Mars and Long John Silver's is making history here on earth," added [Chief Marketing Officer Mike] Baker. "Our faith in NASA has paid off. Their giant accomplishment calls for Giant Shrimp."
Damn, but marketing people are dorks.
