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.

    We have had problems with "Dark Matter" being found in the alleyway behind our house. A "wino" particle is the prime suspect.
