See, here's what happened. You were right, in a way.
It was pinned to the flag on the moon, but the Lunar Winds blew it off.
Then a later astronaut accidentally kicked it up in the air, where, being so small, the moon's gravity wasn't enough to hold it down, so it floated off into space.
After several years of floating, it re-entered the earth's atmosphere, again, being so well constructed and small, it didn't burn up.
It landed in the Australian Outback, where it was found and picked up by a freelance production assistant on a Crockodile Dundee movie who took it to the Sydney Olympics and traded it to a pin collector, who couldn't read the Greek Alphabet, and was dissapointed when he found out it didn't belong to the Serbo-Croation Olympic Bobsled team (who somehow ended up in the Summer Games by mistake -- but due to a lack of competition, won a Bronze Medal) and then listed it on E-Bay.
Unfortunatley, it was purchased by a Veterinary Dentist who didn't realize what he had and melted down for use as a doggy filling.
It is now in somebody's pet's bicuspid -- somewhere in Cleveland, I think.
Doesn't that sound reasonable? At least as reasonable as pinning a sorority pin on a flag in those space suit gloves.

Direct from an AXO live and in person -- DeltAlum -- this has got to be the funniest damn thing I've read in a long time. You are cracking me up!
And for everyone else (my dear sisters included) - don't worry about DeltAlum's posts -- he is simply taking up my slack in the Sarcasm department....which needed to be done since I haven't been on much lately. He's a great guy with a great sense of humor -- sometimes you just have to step back and read it for what it is.
I have posted on the rush forum and other places before that the badge on the moon thing is total BS. I heard it at 3 of the 5 houses on my campus the first night (including AXO). I guess my thing is that if that were a true story, then that would be BIG news in our Lyre magazine, and in our other publications. Thanks, Cash, for backing this up as well.
AXWhoah, as for the remark about the "older" folks on here, I (a sister in your bond) am one of those -- and although I'm not middle aged (yet!) I do have a job and a life, but still love to come chat with my buddies here on GC.
I think that you were out of line with that remark and you owe an apology for it plain and simple. I'm sorry that you are bored in summer school, but it doesn't give you the right to make a vast generalization about everyone on this board in regards to their age and their "life" in general. I think that being sociable is a very BIG part of my life, and I get some of my best socialization time on this board.
And finally - to everyone - please stop with the "I'm outta here" because you don't like what is being said. If you don't like it, then fine - leave. We aren't really going to care much. But if you really don't like things on here, then WHY bother saying "that's it, I'm leaving" -- if I'm somewhere and I don't like what's going on, then I just leave. Period. I don't have to ask permission, and I sure as hell don't have to ask for the spotlight to be turned on for my grand exit. I hate that a couple of my sisters would leave for these reasons, but then again, I learned how to get along with people (especially those I disagree with sometimes) mostly by being in a sorority! Its a part of life - deal with it. If not, goodbye.
