Via friend Juanothan (and Rande and Bri), I have discovered that space potatoes–featured recently in a Secret Circus video–actually exist. Chinese space potatoes. See the AP story:
SHANGHAI, China (AP) — Having boldly gone where no spud has before, Chinese space potatoes are now the latest culinary fad to hit the country’s ultra-trendy commercial hub of Shanghai.
Slightly sweet and purple in color, the potatoes, named Purple Orchid Three, are bred from seeds that mutated while being carried aboard a Chinese spacecraft, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported Monday.
Awesome.
Why is this significant? Because yet again, the Secret Circus has predicted the future. Yes, we are a psychic comedy troupe and we plan to further exploit our innate, supernatural powers for the enjoyment of comedy-loving masses.
BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Wandering through the food court for the fourth time in an hour, Matt Hawkins, 31, wanted to know just who the hell designed this place, anyway.
“You’d think there would be a clear map or some decent signage,” he said. “It makes you wonder if all this stuff was intelligently designed by the Lord, Our God, after all.”
Hawkins went on to wonder about the intelligence of design in other corners of life, like why God would put church and football on the same day, and why light beer tastes like piss.
“God can put a man on the moon, but he can’t make a tasty light brew? Come on!”
In this video, I don’t know what space is, I have a friend who’s a space potato, Ballard tries to help, and Elisha’s accidentally transported somewhere else… in TIME.
