Submission + - Pac-Man Gobbles the Death Star (sciencemag.org)

cremeglace writes: Shaped into the likes of the Death Star of Star Wars fame by the giant crater Herschel, 396-kilometer-diameter Mimas was expected to have its warmest surface temperatures on the equator, where it was early afternoon. Instead, it was warmest in the morning (all of 92 K), giving rise in the science team's temperature-calibrated color scheme to a very large Pac-Man. See full article for image.

You assume incorrectly. I assume nothing in that statement. People will do it.

You assume there are no "monumentally stupid" people out there, which given the idiotic replies to this, proves you wrong.

It's funny how that one statement has made people:

1. accuse me of being a racist
2. accusing me of hating poor people
3. wish me dead
4. call me names like a 5th grader

I guess the possibility of this "reform" bill crapping out like the turd that it is has all the lefties all burko. Only they could get violent over things like this instead of just talking about it. Get over yourselves.

Yes, very "social". Being social just makes it easier to live off the system and not for themselves. That is the big picture which you fail to see.

What happens when everyone sits back and bleeds the system dry? What then? Does the government then force you to work for them?

I work my ass of for what I have. You have too many people that want handouts. That is the big problem.

Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought 451

drewtheman writes "New studies of the plumbing that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park shows the plume and the magma chamber under the volcano are larger than first thought and contradicts claims that only shallow hot rock exists. University of Utah research professor of geophysics Robert Smith led four separate studies that verify a plume of hot and molten rock at least 410 miles deep that rises at an angle from the northwest."
