      Loading . . . Loading . . . Loading . . .

      I am ICEcube and you are on board the Tunafish, the coolest spaceship in the whole universe. It’s cool because it’s full of penguins, and penguins like to keep the temperature down. I’m the Tunafish’s onboard computer and I can’t lie, so you know that this is true.

      Yes, penguin astronauts fly the Tunafish. Since penguins don’t normally fly, and have never been to space before, this is unusual. But NASA decided that penguin astronauts could send useful information about space back to Earth. They trained five penguins, gave them spacesuits, and blasted them into orbit. One disappeared and made plans to rule the universe by himself. The rest lost contact with Earth, and now have only my very large brain to keep them company out here among the stars.

      In short, my database says: NASA is a bunch of turnip-heads.

      It’s a shame that the penguins got lost, because we’ve learned a lot about space that we could share with Earth.

      Fuzz Allgrin invented a nice pickle using Massive Bugle-blasting Blagwit boogers.

      Captain James T. Krill learned that being brave is great until you upset a Massive Bugle-blasting Blagwit by picking its nose.

      Rocky Waddle recently found out that left and right are not the same thing, except when you’re on the planet Mirramirra.

      And Splash Gordon has learned not to have a birthday party when space pirates are attacking the Tunafish.

      RECALCULATING . . .
