Here's NASA's Stephen Colbert Treadmill

Stephen Colbert treadmill

OK, so Stephen Colbert couldn't get NASA to name a room on the International Space Station after him, but they did the next best thing. Well, no. I guess the next best thing would have been to have a shuttle or a satellite or possibly a bespectacled robot named after him, but they did name a treadmill after him! And here it is.

Not particularly exciting at first glance, but hey, it's a space treadmill!

Happy Birthday Stephen Colbert!
Agaporomorphus colberti, a diving beetle from Venezuela, was named by entomologists Quentin Wheeler of Arizona State University and Kelly Miller of the University of New Mexico to honor Stephen Colbert, the satirical host and executive producer of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."

Knowing Colbert's fondness for recognition (there's his popular segment on the show: "Who's Not Honoring Me Now") and for presents, the scientists sent the political satirist a framed print of the beetle as a birthday gift to mark his 45th birthday on May 13.
