Did Philae kiss mama Rosetta good-bye
as he left home to fly in space below,
to a destiny on Churyumov-Gerasimenko
moving in orbit round the sun near-by?
Did Philae ever know the comet's glow
is only sunlight on a icy tail's flow,
or that he was the first comet lander
sent to be a hero for science grander?
Was Philae afraid the harpoon he bore
might shatter on the barren rock-core,
and the comet's weak gravity not hold,
and so lost-in-space's tragedy unfold?
And if Churyumov-Gerasimenko's hungry,
and Philae a bonne collation à manger?

What's impressive about that is, you managed to write each line the same length. I've not seen that style of poetry before.

Philae the comet lander
Through space it did meander
It wanted to go
To Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Just to have a gander

She orders a beer. Then she orders 10 beers. Then she orders 2 billion beers. Followed by -1 beers. Then she orders a null. And finally she orders a cat. Then she tries to leave without paying.

So is the cat alive or dead?

Dunno - and given it's in a box it could be in one of three states: Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious

Bloody Furious has sub-states of Immediate Murder and Plotting to Kill.

To be fair, when is the last time you've seen a woman pay for a night of drinking?
I heard it happens in Lesbian bars, but even then I doubt it.

Last night. I paid for the first round. She paid for the second. Not every woman wants a man for his money.

Wives pay because husbands are not to be trusted with the idea they can buy drinks for women.

Sadly, the reality is (pick one or more):
1. Then she's paid minimum wage because testers are very un-appreciated.
2. Then she's replaced by a robotic automation tester
3. But nothing happens because everyone is ignoring her.
4. What? Test? Who, me???
