Fuck is a band that thrives upon subverting expectation and playing upon the ambiguities of language. A manifesto contained within one of their earlier albums explains that "From the puritanical knee-jerk cringe to the joyous declamation of tourettes [sic], the mere utterance of this monosyllable rarely fails to invoke an immediate response, emotionally and/or intellectually. And in considering an implied negativity, the effect becomes confused, comical and thought-enticing: fuck records, fuck product, fuck fans, fuck music...

Pssst! Want to buy some time in space? In a desperate effort to keep its cash-starved half of the International Space Station (ISS) afloat, the Russian Space Agency has offered to sell its counterparts at NASA the only thing it has left: allocation of astronauts. For a mere $60 million, NASA chief Daniel Goldin told members of Congress in a letter printed in the New York Times Monday, America will get "up to 100 percent of the research time previously allocated to Russia" -- and Moscow's space program effectively becomes a subsidiary of Washington...
