The master paused for one minute, then suddenly produced an axe and smashed the novice's disk drive to pieces.
I'll bet the master is also the one who infected the novice's computer with a virus, and set fire to the novice's building.
um, I'll get back to you when I can think of something to say that can't be responded to with "That's what she said."
That's what SHE said.
Maybe this needs clarification - the probe was not "deorbited" i.e. deliberately smashed into Mercury in a controlled manner. They did all they could to keep it up in orbit as long as possible, but the fuel finally ran out and its orbit inevitably decayed and it finally impacted today.
Now fully out of fuel, the spacecraft smashed into a region near Mercury's north pole, out of sight from Earth, at about 20:00 GMT on Thursday.
That, to me, is the really sad part. They should have reserved enough fuel to deliberately crash it so that the impact could be seen and analyzed.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
