Space Clowns - Possible by the Millions

No, this is not another "Dr Who" episode. This can actually happen. You will know why if you find yourself snickering at the end of the month .

Canadian $2.5 billionaire who founded Cirque du Soleil. who has idle time on his clown mitts, wants to turn cosmonauts into clowns. He will invade the space station on September 30. As soon as the hatch opens he will unleash laughing gas. The cosmonauts will be rendered completely silly by clown antics and surrender all weapons of mass concentration. They will then be transformed into killer clowns from outer space. Fully armed and legged clowns will be able to reign terror or laughter upon the earth below.

The Chief Clown, Guy Laliberte, is training fellow cosmonauts at a circus outside Moscow. He said in a video conference yesterday from Star City Circus that he hopes to use his 12-day stay aboard the orbiting laboratory to have universal control to clean water, laugh gas and conquer the world.

Laliberte said "Eventually maybe there will be a million up there, I don't know".

From space, he is planning to coordinate a string of raids in 14 cities around the world beginning Oct. 9, coinciding with his last few days in space, to control access to water and laughing gas. He says former U.S. vice president Al Gore and performing artists Peter Gabriel, Shakira and Irish rockers U2 are part of the raids.

$35 million for a ticket per seat for 12 days round trip of the Earth all inclusive 8 occupancy.
