Loud Metallic Noise Heard at ISS 281
Z4rd0Z writes "Russian Cosmonauts at the International Space Station today heard a loud drumlike noise for the second time since November. The sound seemed to be coming from the same place as before. In February a space walk to find the source of the sound was cut short."

I'm sure the engineers at NASA will have no trouble designing a high-powered space space station stereo system with plenty of earth-shattering-kaboom bass. After you've got that bitchin' system, you can focus on more important things - like installing a nice spoiler or some spinner solar panels. Even when you're in orbit, your ride must be pimp.

No, no no. You can't start a line with "I for one" on slashdot without making it a reference to the infamous Kent Brockman [wikipedia.org] newscast.
Here, I'll give you some examples:
I, for one, welcome our new knocking alien overlords.
I, for one, welcome our new colliding space debris overlords.
I, for one, welcome our repetitive slashdot joke overlords.
See how it works now? I hope that next time you start a sentence with "I for one" you will not make the same mistake.

What happens is that sometimes, while the station is being constructed, a religious cult will build a secret level into the station and sneak in a Zarg. These are large, rather deadly predators, who might hang around for years before a suspicious person notices that there's one level less on the station than the schematics say there should be. They eat maintenance workers, but for some reason leave the cultists alone.
Happens all the time.
