That was a fun one circulating around the dorms a few years ago.

I had no idea that this was going on...it's both interesting and hilarious. (And it makes not one bit of difference whether it is "new" or not, you clever so-ahead-of-the-curve commenters. I don't think there's anything about being a "breaking news" service in our <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/about/" rel="nofollow">about</a> page. It was new to me and I thought I'd share it with others who did not know about it.) Cheers, -cvj Thanks for all the links guys….
