Hilarious Tweets About Endeavour's Flight Over L.A.
When the space shuttle Endeavour did a lap around the Southland, it was an opportunity for comedians (both professional and not) to make cracks about everything ranging from Angelenos' vanity to the aging shuttle's retiree status. We've rounded up some of the best tweets.
Space shuttle Endeavor lands in Los Angeles today after following Apple Maps directions to the moon.

If only someone would look at me the way they all look at that stupid space shuttle. #Endeavour

I bet Endeavor was supposed to have a bunch more flights but United Airlines screwed it up somehow.

If the space-shuttle is getting this much interest after cancellation it's a sure thing for a movie deal or a shot on TBS.

PRO TIP: If Space Shuttles humping Boeing 747s is your thing, then today's your favorite day ever in LA. #Endeavour

The Endeavor's a helicopter, right? Cause I totally just saw a sick helicopter.

That is NOT the Endeavor flying around, it is @MittRomney's private jet with the dog house strapped to the top.#RomneyEncore #Obama2012

So everyone in LA just watched the space shuttle fly over. I'm in NYC where I just saw a guy shitting in a mailbox clutching a troll doll.
