A Thousand Rathers at a Thousand Typewriters

Kudos to Hattie in Hattiesburg for saving this priceless screen shot:


Reuters webpage on Wednesday (click to enlarge)

I'm reminded of two lines: First, from The Right Stuff, by the actor playing Dr. Werner Von Braun: "The question still remains. Which one will be first--the man or the monkey?" The second quote, from my favorite Simpsons episode -- "Deep Space Homer" -- answers the first: "I'll wager 400 quatloos on the newcomer."

anon, do you have a link to that other image? you may have seen something similar, but it wasn't this screen shot. maybe reuters had the same ad show up on another story. plus, why would an article about rather have a pic of bush?
