Scientists are speculating that the study of this creature might lead to more than better cameras. They believe that this knowledge could be applied to optical fiber networks as well, greatly improving their efficiency and speed."

    My life would be so much better if I thought these "in soviet russia" things were funny. My life would also be so much better if my moderator points were given to me to mod these things down.
    I know, these are grave times my friend, between profit jokes, beowulf clusters, in soviet russia, all your base, cmdrtaco, Michael, and Jon Katz everybody's lives must be in shambles!

    Here's a tip: turn off the computer, put up your hands, and walk away slowly. You'll thank me someday.
