There's the story of the young monk at the Trappiste monastery. After each year they are allowed to speak two words. Not wishing to waste his two words, he ponders deeply then speaks "bad food", and returns diligently to his devotions. Another year passes and when called upon to speak he declaims "hard beds". After the third year he is once again ready to speak "I quit!". "Thank goodness for that" replies the Abbot, forgetting his own vow for a moment "You've done nothing but complain since you got here"

Ok, I'll bite - is this a cartoon? Or even a joke/prank? Is there something in the small print that I've failed to spot?
Or just a crazy stunt that Revell pulled (are they still going?? I think they might be!)
Apparently, it's a competition they once ran!
I don't think it actually went into space, though...

The winner was Robbie Alan Hanshew, a 13-year-old from Portland, Oregon. It was delivered to him by rail (rather than the Super Guppy) and was donated to the Oregon Museum of Science Industry (OMSI) where it remains on display today
