Found this wonderful 'quote' on a NASA site:-

Did you know. . .

Materials from the Space Shuttle thermal
protection system are used on
NASCAR racing cars to protect drivers
from the extreme heat generated by the
engines.

Hey, you can’t spell NASCAR
without NASA!

Ever see "The Onion" piece entitled "NASA/NASCAR Merge"? It's very funny. Don't know if it is in their archive or not.
