Finally, substantial evidence for the existence of dark matter. Watching the aftermath of a collision between two galaxies (from about 100M year ago) , some scientists analysed the distribution of mass after the collision and found that while the gases and other visible matter showed the expected effects of a collision, most of the mass had passed through on it's original course. So cool! ScienceNews article here.For the less nerdy types, there's the story of a Vietnamese thief, Ngo Thanh Tam, who managed to escape from prison in 1986 and has since worked, under a new name, for the Dak Ru police department. He was so good at his job, that he was promoted to police chief in 2003 and was elected to the local People's Council for a five-year tenure in 2004. Nice way to hide out. Reuters
In my first year at college, Heather, a girl from Vermont, kind of mothered my group and tried whenever possible to convince us how cool Vermont was and why we should go there. (She also tried to convice us of several conspiracies). Anywho, point is, small town called Brattleboro has a fair 'live and let live' lifestyle. This seemingly peaceful town has, however, been disturbed by a few teenagers coping with the unusually hot summer by getting their kit off. Even with the new proposed laws, it still reinforces that Vermont should really be part of Canadia. Reuters
Finally, in her regular net-trawling, Maddy came across an interesting link to Hot Library Smut a really cool sampling of photos of cool libraries.
