NASA is expected to announce this week that it has proved the existence of "dark energy", a cosmic force that counteracts gravity and will keep the universe expanding forever. The announcement will effectively demolish the theory that life will be wiped out in a "big crunch" when the universe collapses, and should end decades of academic dispute.
i saw zipcar advertised in the subway yesterday. seems like it could be a good idea. you pay a monthly fee and then you have access to their cars, which are parked all over the city for $6-12/hour with a maximum per day cost $60-90. which is still cheaper than a rental. no gas, insurance. plus the monthly fee covers your rental charges.
Score two more for Cheny and co.

Oh God, the Space Shuttle Columbia has blown up on reentry. My heart sank to my stomach when the picture came on TV. Seven people on board. It seems so awful, and here we are preparing for war, where we are asked to accept death on a massive scale and just, you know, go with it...

A neutron walks into a bar. ''I'd like a beer,'' he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. ''How much will that be?'' asks the neutron. ''For you?'' replies the bartender, ''no charge.''
I can't wait for Alex's comments on this.
This article relates to a discussion some of us were having a few years ago on the use of antibiotics.
