Well, in 1956, Royal Astronomer Sir Richard Woolley said: "Space travel is utter bilge". Perhaps one of the best predictions ever.....

I quit reading at the "bacon-flavored chocolate" part...not because it sounded impossible, but because it sounded totally disgusting.

That other stuff sounds possible, but a waste of time and money....

I remember seeing on the news - ages and ages ago - that they had made peas that tasted of chocolate - but if everything tastes of chocolate, how can one enjoy the real thing??
and won't everything tasting of chocolate end up being very boring indeed
