"Chris Wheeler follows the Olympic Flame into the Canadian arctic community of Iqaluit, Nunavut. There he gazes on amazing arctic views while hanging out with locals who treat him to traditional throat singing and carvings, a game of shinny hockey, and an Olympic flame celebration like no other!" - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"Break oot the beaver musk, nation – Stephen Colbert may be heading north after all. Two weeks after putting Canada on notice, decrying the hordes of “ice-holes” and “syrup-suckers” he feels are hogging ice time at the Richmond Olympic Oval, Mr. Colbert says he hopes to attend the 2010 Games." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"Colbert has called Canucks "syrup-sucking Canadian iceholes" and has urged his Colbert Report viewers to send in letters demanding Canadians cease their icehole-ish behaviour. He's told his viewers to include their addresses because Canadians are so polite they'll undoubtedly reply with a thank you note." - lolz - Ken Morley

"Chris Shaw wasn’t always skeptical about vaccines. The neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia had his teenage son vaccinated with most of the recommended shots. But then he started studying some of the ingredients commonly found in vaccines." - Ken Morley

"I can seriously say that no new winery in the Okanagan has impressed me so much since I started commenting on that scene in 1975." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"The spores of a fungus that thrived in and on those creatures’ dung suggest changes in habitat didn’t cause the extinctions. As a result, it’s looking more and more like humans played a major role." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"Using data from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator facility (JLab) in 2004, a cadre of researchers have examined nuclear data for 1H, 2H, 3He, 4He, 9Be, and 12C. The results have led the team to propose a new theory about the structure of the nucleus—as a bonus, it indicates why it has been so hard to create a general theory." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"The authors argue that their results can be explained if the EMC effect is not related to the average nucleus density, but rather to the local density of hadrons inside the nucleus itself." - Ken Morley

Is it just me, or did you read it as "Romulan" too? - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

Wow, that's awesome. Reminds me of Degas' horses. - Anika

"A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"This week in the Mojave Desert, three teams of engineers are competing for $2 million offered up by NASA for anyone who can build a prototype of an elevator able to crawl up a kilometer-high tether while hauling a heavy payload. "We haven't had any winners yet, but we truly do expect to have at least one winner, probably more [this year]," said Ted Semon, spokesman for The Spaceward Foundation, which has run the competition for the past several years." - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet

"Britain's oldest dinosaur that has been entombed in rock for more than 210 million years will finally be excavated, researchers announced today. Thecondontosaurus antiquus is the oldest known dinosaur in Britain and one of the oldest in the world. A rock specimen, discovered at Tytherington Quarry in South Gloucestershire in the 1970s, contains the fossilised remains of the so-called "Bristol Dinosaur" - Ken Morley from Bookmarklet
