Hearing Instant Karma -- John Lennon
Because you can never has too much science!
* Various medical reasons why sex on a regular basis is good for you. I think it's always nice to have those reasons as a backup, don't you?
* The Big Bang theory is saved! And what a relief -- if they disproved the Big Bang theory it's entirely possible that we simply would have ceased to exist. I don't want to not exist. It's difficult to do anything that way.
* A really interesting story about people who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness." That means they can see your eyes and nose and lips and such, but their brains don't really put them all together to make up a face. I'm glad I don't suffer from this one. I like faces.
* They're the Energizer bunnies of space exploration: The Mars rovers celebrate 1000 Martian days of active duty -- impressive when you consider they were only designed to last for 90. Which means when they finally do break down, they're totally past the warranty.
* The dye in your blue jeans can kill cancer cells. Alas, rubbing your body with your pants won't get the job done. Scientists are working on a different delivery method entirely.
* Finally! Someone tells use what happens when you throw an elephant into a black hole! No, this isn't a political joke about the 2006 elections.
* And to close things up, an awesome time-lapse shot of the International Space Station's silhouette moving across the lunar surface. Some guy made this by going out to the right place with his telescope. Amateur astronomy rocks sometimes.
