The world is a Hologram
What was thought to be interference in a German gravitational wave detector could turn out to be proof that reality is in some sense a hologram.
While this is a fascinating discovery in its self it is a perfect example of one the things that makes me love science (Yes, I love science).
Every so often in the world of physics there is a theorist wondering how to find proof of their new idea while someone performing an experiment designed to measure something completely different sits scratching their heads at a set of results that seem to make no sense. It happened with Einstein predicting the Brownian Motion that baffled Robert Brown and with the discovery of cosmic background radiation which researchers initially thought was due to their antenna having a fault until they found out about some scientists at Princeton theorising that just such a signal should be found.
So to sum up:

Take A Logic Test
A quiz to test your powers of logical reasoning.
I got 100% but then I did take a course on logic at university.
Don't forget that just because a premise isn't true doesn't mean the conclusion doesn't logically follow.

I don't normally do cute but I'll make an exception
"Two German children - aged five and six - have been stopped by police from eloping to Africa to tie the knot in the sun, reports say.
The budding lovebirds, identified as Mika and Anna-Lena, packed bathing costumes, sunglasses and a lilo and headed for the airport.
They even had the presence of mind to invite along an official witness - Anna-Lena's seven-year-old sister."
Super Ubuntu
For those of you who fancy a go with Ubuntu, but don't want all the bother of having to install all the extra codecs and bits of useful software that can't be distributed with the main build then Super Ubuntu might be the thing for you wrapping it all up into one handy distro.
