Slashdot | Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest

Slashdot | Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest: "As we speculated a couple of weeks back, it has come to pass.

'NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, 'The Colbert Report' to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday"
