News: Gizmo marketed in Japan claims to translate dog barks into people speak -- http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-908889.html Comment: Hmmm...I'm pretty skeptical.

This new theory tries to explain what that discovery means. Humans like stories with a beginning and an end. A Universe that expands at an accelerating rate has a beginning (the Big Bang) but no end that could be ever detected, not even in theory. It may take a while for religious leaders and philosophers to catch up with the implications.

When are we going to invade Iraq?

But dressing up as an Imperial Storm Trooper does seem a little, uh, loony? Click here to see current comments and add your own. 11:53:39 AM
