Dear NASA:

You guys have got to get in touch with the folks over at Kellogg's and find out what they put in the Rice Krispies that causes the cereal to permanently graft onto the kids' near-empty cereal bowls if they're left unattended for all of two hours.

If you could incorporate some of that cereal adhesion technology into the formulation of the glue used to hold the ceramic tiles to the exterior skin of the Space Shuttle, I'd say your problem of tiles popping off will fast become but a faded memory.

You're welcome.

- Bruce
