A Buckyegg Breaks Pentagon Rules
Roland Piquepaille writes "Chemists from Virginia and California have cooked a soup of fullerenes which produced an improbable buckyegg. The egg-shaped structure of their 'buckyballs' was a complete surprise for the researchers. In fact, they wanted to trap some atoms of terbium in a buckyball "to make compounds that could be both medically useful and well-tolerated in the body." And they obtained a buckyegg which both violates some chemistry laws and the FIFA soccer laws which were used until the last World Cup. Read more for additional references and a picture of this buckyegg carrying metal molecules."
I've been replaying SimCity 2000 lately and that reads like one of the crazy ad-libbed thrown together random newspaper articles, but not quite as coherent.

Go ahead and call me unreliable; reliable is just a synonym for predictable.
But this time we know the egg definitely came first!
Thank God I'm not the only one... I thought it was that pot...
Just because you don't understand it, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter.
OMG, what a nightmarish thought! A second Potomac Puzzle Palace, adjacent the first?
