Maybe he’s not quite the unluckiest guy alive, but he’ll do until Mr. Unlucky comes along. A shepherd in Russia is suing his country’s space agency after a 10-foot-long chunk of metal from a rocket fell into his yard, just missing his outdoor toilet.
He wasn’t in it at the time, but it’s still way too close for me. Would you want your obit to say you died when space rubble pulverized your outhouse? “Hold your horses, honey, I’m almost done! Can you toss in another roll of Charmin, so I can…”
That’s the kind of thing where the family makes up another story, like you went away to shoot an upcoming American Idol series or whatever. I’m pretty sure of one thing: every new outhouse they build there in the future will have a skylight…

Yeah, and after he is awarded damages he’ll sell the piece of Unique Russian Space Memorabilia on Ebay for huge duckets.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksYou go, Mr. Dublediprovic.
I don’t get it. Bushes don’t do number one or number two.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksIn Russia, there are outhouses everywhere. Trust me on this. Maybe he had his entire collection of MAD magazines ni there to read?! Who knows? I can tell you this though: the space agency will laugh their butts off.
In Russia, if your flight is canceled, too bad. They offer nothing, except an invitation to try again tomorrow. The words “customer service” are unknown in Russia…
- Posted by Dee TThat’s one small fragment for the Russian Space Agency, one interrupted crap for mankind.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksSomehow, I feel worse about the guy in the rocket!
- Posted by CharleneThis particular model is a little more difficult to tip. But when you do, boy howdy, what a surprise the person inside will have!
- Posted by Nocturnal BobMoron. Always sue the person with the money. Who can prove that didn’t come off a ship launched by the Luxembourg space program?
