The Colbert Room

In case you haven't yet heard, Colbert won the write-in suggestion for the NASA space station name contest. NASA will decide in April which name it will choose of the possibilities. They were, no doubt, surprised when Stephen Colbert's campaign to name the new room at the international space station after himself actually yielded 40,000 more votes than NASA's top contender, Serenity. Thus the power of the internet. I heard about the name contest on Facebook, and yes, I voted for him. I think it would be a fun thing to have a room named after one of America's contemporary comedians. Or they could always compromise and just name it the Laughter Room or the Funny Room, since those words are synonymous with Colbert.
