Talk about your "Critical System Failure"
Astronauts on the International space station are dealing with the loss of a vital piece of equipment...the Space Toilet!
Seems the bastard broke down and that has caused a little problem for those aboard the ship. I personally have never tried to take a crap in zero gravity...but I would guess that it isn't as funny as it sounds!
Currently, according to MSNBC, "Until then, the current hardware — and the supply of "Apollo bags" for fecal collection — may have to suffice. And if previous experience is any guide, the Russian engineers and cosmonauts will find McGyver-type solutions to make it work."

I love the fact that the phrase, "McGyver-tpye solutions" found its way into an MSNBC story. What I love more is the fact that they spelled MacGyver wrong!
Note the correct version is with a Mac (not a Mc). Just saying!
