Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real?

Zarath writes "The fictional town of Eureka (from the TV series by the same name) is going to potentially become a real life town as the University of Queensland, in Australia, plans to build a multibillion-dollar 'brain city' dedicated to science and research. The city, hoping to hold at least 10,000 people, is looking to attract 4,500 of the brightest scientists from around the world to live and work there. The city is planned to be built west of the city of Brisbane, in Queensland. While not funded by the Department of Defense (like the [city of the] TV series), the potential for such a community is very interesting and exciting."

A target for religious zealots

Nice. And the very next time someone feels their religion is threatened by some research going on over there, it will be bombed all to hell sending us all into the dark ages once again. ...I hope for humanity's sake that it collectively outgrows religion.

One thing will be certain...

Even in geek world, the good looking but dumb jock type will still get all the pussy.
