Culture: Here’s an image of the Stephen Colbert namesake space treadmill

COLBERT, the treadmill
  • They’re sure running with this joke. (Sorry.) As you might remember, a few months back, Stephen Colbert attempted to win a contest to get a part of the International Space Station named after him. He won, but NASA chose to name this treadmill after him instead. Which, is still incredibly awesome. Admit it.source

Sports: There’s a sad ending for Mike Tyson’s daughter Exodus :(

  • She was taking off life support this morning. Exodus, victim of a terrible accident involving a treadmill, died this morning at 11:45 a.m. It’s perhaps one of the more gut-wrenching stories we’ve run lately and we wish the best to the Tyson family in this difficult time. source

Sports, U.S.: Mike Tyson’s daughter on life support after accident :(

  • A control cord from a treadmill was wrapped around her neck. The boxer’s 7-year-old daughter, Exodus, was discovered by his 4-year old son yesterday at Tyson’s Phoenix home. She was caught wrapped up in the cord of a treadmill machine console. The scene was apparently quite scary and the family is requesting thoughts and prayers. “Those are the things that stay with you in your career,” said Sgt. Andy Hill of the Phoenix P.D. “We always hope for a miracle — not to have the worst happen to a child.” source
