Time-traveling Viking SEAL WTF?

No, seriously. This woman writes romance novels - funny ones, apparently, and on-purpose funny - and her flagship series involves a time-traveling Viking who becomes a Navy SEAL.

I assume because clearly, if there's anything that's sexier than a Special Forces operative, it's a Viking Special Forces operative.

Hat tip to Questionable Content for alerting me to this, erm, literary gem.

Omnia vincit Cafe

Say you've got one of the coolest jobs on the planet - US Astronaut. And you're in space. You even have the hot coffee you love and adore, because We Have the Technology. But what you really, really want is to drink your coffee out of a cup, not out of a foil bag with a straw. Because it's coffee, dammit, not Capri Sun.

So you invent the zero-G coffee cup using plastic you ripped from Flight Data File (because seriously, who reads that anyway?), because you are a US astronaut and you are badass.
