"This never happened to the other fellow."

It's been awhile since we had a quiz, class, so get your pencils ready! Save your groaning for later. Pens and pencils out, paper ready--here it is:

MI6, the legendary British intelligence agency, recently did something extraordinary. What was it? (Choose One.)

  1. Their top field agent prevented a gold-obsessed madman from irradiating all the gold bullion stored in Fort Knox, which would have made it literally untouchable on world markets and caused another global financial catastrophe (on top of everything else happening right now).

  2. Their top field agent stowed away on a privately-owned space shuttle with a stunningly beautiful CIA employee, and together they were able to destroy an ecologically-and-eugenically-obsessed psychopath's radar-invisible space station and prevent him from destroying all human life on Earth with a virulent and mysterious toxin.

  3. Somebody at the agency--presumably not their top field agent--sold a Nikon Coolpix camera with a memory card full of photos, fingerprints and secret documents pertaining to suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists for approximately thirty bucks on eBay.



The answer (like you really needed it) can be found here.


(PS: There will be a really awesome Ladytron video up for the Neverwednesday Nights entry this evening around five p.m. EST. It's sweet.)

Wait, wasn't that basically the plot for Mission: Impossible?

Too hilarious. And can't MI5 buy their spies any cooler a camera?

Um Eric? Speaking of photos, I prefer your previous header photo. I know it's makeup and all, but there's just something about dental hygeine challenges front and center that are unappealing. :P

Yeah, I thought the fact the spy agency was using a CoolPix was one of the funniest things about the whole thing. I just imagine "Q" being told to go down to the English equivalent of Wal-Mart and bring back the receipt.

As for the header--your question deserved it's own post. :-)
