Apathetic Science Update

A few tidbits from the week in the wacky world of science:

Those pesky Germans, never content to leave things nice and sensible, have found a way to decrease the temperature of a substance to below absolute zero -- which immediately makes it hotter than anything known to science, (and not really so much "absolute" any more, either). It's kinda like the asteroids disappearing off the bottom of the screen only to immediately re-appear at the top. That little saucer is coming to kill your ass, just wait...

Engaging in far more serious research, drunken grad students at the University of Portsmouth have empirically determined that ho's in heels do indeed walk moar sexah. Sorry, chicks; looks like you can't toss the torture shoes yet.

An astronomy prof at the University of Arizona is smarter than the average cosmological bear. Rodger Thompson has done the math, as they say, and shown that there's a teensy little problem with dark matter/energy/unicorn theory: it doesn't work. SU-prize, SU-prize! Gaahhw-LEE, Sarge!
