Space Shuttle to return home, irregardless

It's been determined that the Space Shuttle will be returning home this week after all. For those not following along in their hymnal, there was some concern over unidentified junk floating around in space close to the shuttle.

As it turns out, one of the chunks of stuff was THE BUCKET OF NUTS AND BOLTS DROPPED EARLIER IN THE MISSION WHEN THEY WERE OUT CHANGING A FLAT.

The other was actually a large turd left behind by a cosmonaut's dog when he was let out of the space station to do his business.
