    I've noticed this happen a few times. Some small website puts up an interesting article. Some one submits it to Slashdot, who runs with it. Then "big" websites like Wired or News.com pick up on the story - timed so coincidentaly that I'm pretty sure that at least some of them are reading Slashdot. Finally, it hits traditional media - newspapers and somewhat less frequently, TV. So, who knows.

    You're presuming to use logic (or something similar) to understand a non-logical phenomenon. Don't work. Human emotion is a manifestly NONlinear function and additionally changes from one state to another with about the same level of predictabliity as the position and momentum of a particular subatomic particle. Fuggabouddit.

    That's rediculous. You might not want to belive it, but Human Nature is extreemly predictable. It follows probability theory, not logic (not a -> b, but P(a = x|b) = normal_distribution(x,y)). That sort of thing. I'm not saying that we know the exact stastical probability for everything, But we can usualy say pretty well what a given person will do in a given situation.
