LANDING ON A COMET: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ROSETTA SPACE MISSION

London, Great Britain (The Adobo Chronicles) – History was made today when a mechanical space probe called Philae landed on a comet named 67P some 310 million miles from Earth.

European Space Agency (ESA) scientists and executives high-fived and hugged each other when the landing was confirmed.

The probe was released from the mother ship Rosetta, an unmanned space ship that has been in orbit for more than a decade now.

Till this very day, the mission of the Rosetta was not known, except by the top brass at ESA, the European counterpart of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

But now that the comet landing has been successfully accomplished, ESA revealed that Rosetta’s mission was to find out if there was life in the comet and if so, what language or languages the beings spoke.

The Philae is equipped with the Rosetta Stone language learning system, especially designed to record spoken word and to translate them into English and other languages. It is the same system earthlings purchase on Amazon.com to learn different languages and improve their language skills.

Identifying the language spoken in the comet will give scientists a clue as to which country or continent on earth the comet’s beings originally came from.  It has long been established that earthlings have traveled or migrated to planets, moons, stars and comets and have established permanent residency in these locations within the solar system.

Burbank, California (The Adobo Chronicles)- It all started with a tweet. A snapshot of a handsome teenager bagging items at a Target store in Dallas was posted by a tickled fan and it immediately went viral. Alex, now popularly known as Alex From Target, could not believe the number of his Twitter followers went from about 144 to more than half a million in just a couple of days. He’s been working as cashier at Target for only three months.

It pays to be an Internet sensation. Alex From Target was recently a guest of The Ellen Show, where he received an iPad gift from the generous Ms. DeGeneres. But it doesn’t end there. Ellen was so impressed by the smart and witty sixteen-year-old that she offered him a job as cashier at The Ellen Shop in Burbank.

A minimum-wage earner at Target, Alex will now be working for twice as much at The Ellen Shop. He will henceforth be known as Alex At Ellen. Perhaps, a television career also awaits him?

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s been a while since fans last saw Chris Kohrs, the ‘Hot Cop of Castro‘ whose Internet photograph showing him walking the streets of Castro Street went viral, prompting the setting up of his own Facebook fan page and making him a hit in local LGBT and other fundraising charity events. He recently decided to keep a low profile and even took down his Facebook fan page (although it is now back up).

No matter. He has had his time.

Now it’s Alex’s turn to shine. Alex of Target. Yes, that Target.

A photo of this handsome young cashier bagging purchased items at a Target store was posted on Twitter and it immediately went viral. It even spurred many memes. Still, others dared to impersonate him, to no avail. His is now officially known as Alex of Target, or the Hot Cashier of Target.

The Castro resident who set up Kohrs’ Facebook fan page wants to do the same for Alex. Ellen DeGeneres wants him as a guest on her TV show. Apple wants him to model its new Apple Watch. Abercrombie & Fitch is dying to sign him up for its fall and winter collection.

Even The Adobo Chronicles wants to do an exclusive interview with him.

So Alex, if you’re reading this, please call.  We are also offering a $50 Target gift card to anyone who can provide us with Alex’s email address or phone number.

The hunt is on!
