Sexy?

Man, you need to get out more often. Or stay in more often. Something. All I know is that whatever you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

I found one too! Here is a 'virtual photo' of Anwar after GW leaves office. Thank goodness for technology, otherwise we would vote him into the presidency. Whew!

They have already! Here is a 'virtual photo' of the earth after GW leaves office.

At least they didn't use the old stock photo of a large moon colliding into a planet for a picture this time ;)

For your media-recycling amusement:

CNN's photo

BBC's photo

I am glad to verify the Latin plural of spatula.

Why does every news story involving meteorite have to have this picture? Where is it from? Is it a secret messages to terrorists?!

The funniest part of the Reuters report is what Bill is caught standing next to in the photograph.

Why use your program when we already have the Homeland Security Advisory System to raise meaningless alerts at random?

Looks like fun.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who would take a rock from their backyard, encase it in a Lucite ball and sell it on eBay if they thought people would fall for it. Heck, from the looks of the photo, that could be a piece of dried dog poop.

Let's take it one step further: Nixon wanted to placate the Honduran dictator without giving him anything of real value, so he had some of Checkers's excrement encased in a futuristic-looking Lucite ball. Deliver it with a plaque and you have a great joke to tell your friends. In fact, I'll bet that's what he was talking about during the famous gap...

The difference is in the control surfaces. See this diagram for more details.

The CNN is shy on details, so anyone who is more well-versed in dark matter is welcome to correct my terrible errors that I'm sure to make. I won't note the parts I may be wrong in, though, since I could be wrong in nearly all of them.

Now, gravitation (esp. gravitational lensing) is the only way to detect dark matter. The article shows that the gravitational lens is a "bright" galaxy. So how did they determine that these dark midget galaxies exist? They don't radiate light to be bent by the lens, and unless I'm terribly mistaken, the little circles around the larger one in the image are in fact the same object, but distorted by the gravitational field of the central galaxy.

As for the second reason dark matter is supposed to exist (that the universe just isn't heavy enough): can't the stars/galaxies/clusters simply be more dense with ordinary matter than we thought? (This would require that the matter be colder than we thought in space, so that the total radiation corresponds with the experimental values).

In conclusion, for those who know about dark matter: why does it have to exist?

I found this page at Nevada's DMV sites. Doesn't have the nuke one, but it has others:

Someone else posted the new nuke one:

Here is the story on CNN, complete with a picture.

Enjoy =)

yes, you do

Did you see this? I'd say he's turned to the dark side, for sure.

While reading CNN.com I was brainwashed by all the small graphics featuring Paula Zahn. I can't stand it anymore, I have to see her nude. A google search for Paula Zahn nude returned nothing. Am I the only one obsessed with her? I need to see her nude now.
