Ring Of Stars Found Around Milky Way
LoPingHo writes "Scientists have found a ring of stars around our galaxy that has previously been undetected due to the faintness of the stars. The article says that it only amounts to 1% of the galaxies mass, but if they are just now finding those, that means there could be even fainter ones there too. Could this be part of the elusive 'dark matter' talked about so much lately?"
This ring of stars is the result of a collision, as can be easily proven by observation of Bugs Bunny upon contact with an anvil.
As for the missing mass, that's due to Elmer FUD.

The tipoff was that it had trouble maintaining anything other than a straight 4/4 rhythm.
In walking, just walk. In sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.

Actually, the universe is made of two types of matter: light matter, and dark matter. Light matter is generally acknowledged to be more savory and delicate in flavor. It can be dry, but when cooked properly, retains the universe's natural juices. Light matter is found in the breast and wings. Dark matter, on the other hand, is found on and near the drumsticks of the universe. It contains a higher percentage of fat and is therefore, often more flavorful and gamey.
