It's Not Easy Being Green!

In our running group we have often wondered why Mike W. wore green tights. His bike helmet is also green. Apparently this is not a coincidence. New evidence suggests that MW is actually the pilot of the New Horizons spacecraft that is flying by Pluto. If you download software from NASA you can see photographs of Pluto and possibly see an image of Mike's face in the spaceship window.

Mike isn't on board the small spaceship, he never would survive a nine year trip without a bathroom stop. He works for a top secret firm that makes satellite "stuff" and NASA contacted MW to pilot the ship from his desk in Rochester, NY.  We always believed Mike worked on spreadsheets and was a business planning genius. In truth this has been a coverup. It turns out that in college Mike was an Asteroids video game champion. He is like Rain Man in the arcades, truly a pinball wizard.

When NASA found his name atop every Asteroids high scorer list in western NY they knew he was the man to autopilot New Horizons. Mike even graciously donated his old Dish TV disc for the project, knowing that would help hold down costs.

It only recently came to light that Mike was also behind the creation of The Great Gazoo. Most people thought the Great Gazoo was a cartoon fantasy, but they were wrong. All this time it was Mike. An alien in our midst, but it makes sense once you learn about his Asteroids prowess. And that is why till this day he wears green at most social functions and while running on the canal path.
