Which of the following is true?

There are more chickens than people in China

The Twinkie has an infinite shelf life

India has launched a spacecraft to Mars on its first attempt

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has launched an orbiter (Mangalyaan robotic probe) which is now in orbit around the Red Planet.

The spacecraft, named ‘Vindaloo 1’ was launched from the world’s largest tandoori oven built specifically for the mission.

The probe will collect scientific information about the planet’s atmosphere to see if the surface is as hot as the interior of a typical tandoori oven. “If it is”, says scientist and chef Rami ‘Jim’ Patel, “we can set up a series of kitchens and feed future missions.”

“I guess when we discovered a vindaloo base for the rocket fuel we were well on the way” said India Space Program Director Bili ‘Bob’ Patel. “That stuff is hot when we fuel it and even hotter as it exits.”

A press release from the ISRO stated that the command center will be ‘outsourced’ to the United States.

This occurred because although the rocketry team was Indian, even they could not pronounce the name of their space center, which was located in Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta. It was easier to say ‘Houston.’

“If we can go to Mars, just think of how easy it will be to travel to Kashmir” said Raj ‘Norm’ Patel, a scientist on the ground.

“The rocket itself will usher in a new era of interstellar design and theatrical production” said Vijay ‘Pete’ Patel, “When it was launched, the flowing multi-colored robes dropped off revealing the entire command crew at the launch pad in a choreographed number featuring female technicians lip synching the national anthem. It was breathtaking….and so was the fuel.”
