Holy crap, the earth has a second moon - who would of known? Cruithne: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3753_Cruithne - sure it's only 5 kilometres in diameter and has a really weird orbit but it's a great way to mess with people's heads in trivia quizs, as seen in the video.

Posted by Captain Marmoset 54 days ago (http://www.washingtonpost.com)
I have been reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan which looks at industrialised food in the U.S.A. (among other things). It's one thing to read about how industrialised food is making people fat but it's a completely different experience to read about the actual people.

Yes, science is still being awesome. Researchers have been testing the effects of alcohol on prairie voles (who apparently like 6% alcohol drinkies)
"Prairie voles, by their nature, stick with one mate for life and devotedly care for babies together. But given alcohol to drink, many become staggering drunkards prone to stepping out on their partners. "

So.. men aren't heartless bastards after all..
In the study of more than 1,000 unmarried young adults between the ages of 18 and 23, researchers found that even though men sometimes try to present a tough face, unhappy romances take a greater emotional toll on men than women.

Posted by Captain Marmoset 80 days ago (http://www.telegraph.co.uk)
Opening the way for dozens of "Fifth Element" jokes scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider believe the elusive Higgs Boson (referred to by numpties as the "God Particle") may exist in five forms.
I'm sure the fundamentalist religious nutbars will get excited too, but they're easily excited these days. If someone finds any wacky religious interpretations of what the five forms could be
