Galaxies on the run

via USAToday: Discovery of a series of galaxies(!) all hurtling towards the same destination - the Hydra cluster. Not explicable by current dark matter theory, cause unknown. Something beyond our celestial horizon, pulling them in?

Fred Phelps

via philly enquirer: Fred Phelps, evangelical crazy-at-large, has been protesting US servicemen funeral services with such delightful placards as "God Hates Your Tears" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers". His claim is that US deaths are the result of God's anger at gays being allowed to exist in america. Court case is currently pending, regarding free speech. Lots of angles here -1st amendment, obscenity, slander, right to religious freedom (they were protesting a religious service, for example). Should follow this.

using Disorder as an aid in quantum systems

via wired: designing a quantum system (the goal being computing) that uses the inherent chaos in complex systems as an aid, not something to be avoided. Interesting.

DARPA & Quantum mechanics

via wired: DARPA offering funding to any & all who can incorporate quantum mechanics into actual prototypes. R&D, clearly, since the first observable quantum superimposition in a physical(visible) object just happened a couple weeks ago. Not that you could look at it, since looking at it would change it's quantum state. Damn you, quantum physics!

Da Vinci's hidden mirror-enabled images

random link: Regarding Da Vinci's "newly discovered"(read: debatable)use of mirrored images within some of his famous works. When viewed with a mirror, in just the right place, you get some other image a la Mad Magazine. Also comes with a healthy dose of crazy.

japanese "rape-simulator" videogame

via huffpost: Really!? The player is a rapist out to capture & , y'know, a mother and her two daughters. I don't even know where to begin vomiting with this one.

Different from Ethnic Cleansing from Rsistance Records (spewers of Racism - yes, with a capital 'R'), and LB: Eternal Forces, where women have their uses, but it appears that only americans get to know the glory of the Jeebus.

apocalypse does not justify sex with yer daughters, you fuck

via huffpost: Aswad Ayinde has been mentally & physically terrorizing his daughters for ten years, including repeated rapes, in order to breed within his own family and create a "pure" bloodline for the End Times.
