Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the matter's-goth-sister dept.

saudadelinux writes "To quote a press release on NASA's site, astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered 'how dark and normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision.' There will be a briefing at noon, August 21 ET, on this discovery, with streaming media provided by NASA, and some details of the research posted on Harvard's Chandra site just beforehand."

    Astronomers will announce how dark and normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision at 1 p.m. EDT Monday, Aug. 21. - so who is Cartman's father? Is it Officer Barbrady? Chef? Jimbo? Ned? Mr. Garrison? Chief Running Water? Gerald Broflovski? Dr. Mephisto? Kevin, and the 1991 Denver Broncos?

    What I mean is, I really wanna know.
