It’s April Fool’s Day, but this story is no joke. The comedian Stephen Colbert, who hosts Comedy Central’s hit show The Colbert Report, may be honored with a toilet named for him on the International Space Station. The name “Colbert” beat out “Serenity” after the TV host asked fans to write in his name in the NASA online poll to pick the moniker for a new space module. NASA insiders are considering the idea but are deferring on the naming until April. One NASA spokesman is quoted as saying, “As for the toilet rumor, we don’t want to flush away any goodwill by announcing something before we are ready.”
