I got Guitar Hero from my mom for my birthday. Yes, I turned 29 and asked for a video game. This last week I've been playing it constantly. Do you think its possible to get carpal tunnel syndrome from an air guitar? My wrist is totally hurting...

In the message they sent up to the crew yesterday it said: "What video game to rock stars play in their spare time?" The answer: "Flight Controller Hero".

And then there was this in the Execute Package, referring to the Japanese Logistics module that was installed yesterday.

Today, you will open up the JLP and add to the total square footage of ISS. The Harris County tax assessors estimate that this will increase the value of the station by $43.6 M, and the millage rates will be increased accordingly. We may have to dip into your per diem as we had not counted on the higher resulting rent for your crew. The good news is that if we add a bathroom and bamboo flooring to the JLP, we can more than double that assessed value in resale price!

And of course, the mission being about Japanese payloads (oh yeah, and the Canadian Dextre arm extension), there is a plastic Godzilla toy sitting on CAPCOM's console.

Who said there was no humor in rocket science?
