This is just amazing; there's not much else I can say about it. Space X Did It: Falcon 1 Made it to Space

SpaceX has made history. Its privately developed rocket has made it into space.

After three failed launches, the company founded by Elon Musk worked all of the bugs out of their Falcon 1 launch vehicles.

...

Eight minutes after leaving the ground, Falcon 1 reached a speed of 5200 meters per ...

Found a link to a study about The Spread of Obesity in a Large Social Network over 32 Years on Neuroanthropology.

I have no idea what to think of it. Apparently having strong social ties to people as they become obese means that you are statistically more likely to become obese.
<blockquote>A person's chances of becoming obese increased by 57% (95% confidence interval , 6 to 123) if he or she had a friend who ...

This is wild. A 25-year study that just recently concluded suggests that attitude about the salary gender gap is a big factor in salary for both men and women.

Hi there, I;m new to the forum and want to sit in on an AIM chat game to see the style of play and get a feel for the thing. . . I'm into fantasy RPGS (AD&D/D&D, RQ, but Warhammer FRP is actually my favourite) and I'm some way into creating a character for the Philsys system.

If anyone has a regular chat game going on and doesn't mind a spectator, please let me now ...

So, the world is a strange place. I have proof.

As you may or may not know, I've been working at an ice cream shop right outside the college I go to. There's a manager there everyone thinks is really odd. I don't normally work with him, but he switched shifts with another manager (my sister, incidentally) and I wound up on the same shift as him last night.

The shift went fairly normally until ...
