The Pipe
The best gift I've recieved in a long time. Gifts that you know will be with you through a signifigant portion of your life to come are always the best. With the exception of herpes of course. My brother gave me this pipe for christmas. It was hand made in denmark by a company called Bjarne.

Lunar Rover
Think about this in a mind-set outside your norm and you might see why conspiracy theorists love to call bullshit.
NASA sends a rocket to the moon so Armstrong can walk around, post a flag, and drive around in a cool dune-buggy. Billions of dollars so some guy can drive a dune buggy on the moon, how do I apply for that job. Here's the training, get drunk (simulating reduced gravity) drive your little brothers go-cart in the dessert (lunar surface). Did you flip the go-cart over? No. You pass, welcome to NASA. I can only hope that going to the moon did something more than give society the phrase "If they can land a man on the moon, they should be able to...." You might be thinking "Well where would we have gotten moon rocks?" I'll tell you where, at a gift shop on your next vacation. In this situation, bullshit is plausible. Note: The real reason conspiracy theorists call bullshit is because of the cold war. Kennedy made his famous speak about space travel being a priority and within a year we were there. Russia had sent Copernicus into orbit and America wasn't going to lose that battle, so it came down to principle. Do it or fake it. Thats the short version.
