Space Observatory May Have Found Dark Matter
KentuckyFC writes to mention that new data from the orbiting observatory PAMELA may shed some additional light on the question of dark matter. Still only a preliminary announcement, the new findings apparently support the "Minimal Dark Matter" model, in which a particle called a "Wino" is responsible.
The answer is none. None more darker.
Thats right, when you can't find the real reason blame those too drunk to respond.
Winos are not responsible for every single badass event in the universe you know.
It could just as easily have been this Pamela woman.

So it gets drunk on dark energy , trips over a neutrino and falls down a black hole where no one can see it?
umm...dark overlords at the center of the galaxy be welcomed!
Wino is a recursive acronym for "Wino Is Not Observable"
So, scientists say they may have found Dark Matter, eh?
I bet it was in the last place they looked...
I'll get me coat...
I've always heard the opposite
I'm afraid the OP was correct. You can't shed light on dark matter because the dark will suck all the light, just like the sun sucks dark so hard that the friction of the dark moving to the sun causes it to become very hot. The flow of dark towards the sun interrupted by the earth causes the side of the earth away from the sun to accumulate dark, thus causing Night. As the earth rotates the dark caught on the night side can then be pulled off, this causing the absence of dark known as Day.
What we call light bulbs are truly dark suckers as well. That is why light bulbs are hot, just like the sun. When a light bulb is full of dark and won't suck dark any more, it cools off. If you look in old light bulbs you can even seen the accumulation of dark.
And when he said shed some dark on the matter of light mass, shed some mass in order to become become light I think he was referring to the fact that dark is heavier than water (in the oceans, the deeper you go, the darker it gets).
I don't know about lighting dark sheds bit, though. Maybe someone else?
I assume they used Hobonic detectors.
This is the grown-up internet. You're allowed to say "fuck" here.
It's GNU/Wino, damnit!

Welcome to the world of sensationalist media.
Yeah but this is /. -- that kind of sensationalist attention-grabbing headline removed from the reality of the actual story would never happen around here ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
