Pliny-the-in-Between - A new baryon: Ω_b

That would throw a pretty big monkey wrench into the standard model if it never showed itself, I understand.

No news for the Higgs boson so far. It will probably be a while, with the LHC having to start up again and then taking a few years to go up to full power. Fermilab could end up lucky and discover it in the meantime, though. On the other hand, it would also be huge news if the LHC never observes the Higgs after years of operating at full power.

Any new updates on the search for the Higgs?

I feel so lucky that we don't have to deal with any type of pseudoscience in Florida. </sarcasm> I wonder if anything would have happened to that teacher if he had said ... "Palm reading is fantasy"?

Closer to home is the recent ruling that a science teacher's admittedly less than tactful remarks about creationism landed him in hot water for allegedly violating the establishment clause of First Amendment (Farnan vs Corbett). Since the federal courts have essentially labeled creationism religious pseudoscience, should the truth ever be in violation of the First Amendment?

Sounds like burning down the house to put out a match. At least I think the sort of parents who send their children to religious schools would be likely to have more severe opinions about abortion than about sex. It's ironic how anti-sex and anti-abortion views are responsible for more abortions ...

It's because they are scared of getting in trouble w/ mommy and daddy. Sex is taboo- she shouldn't have been engaging in that activity in the first place.

Well, it's what they say ... ;) (It's my own punnish way of hoping that we hear from the rover after it lands. :)

A father and son caught a fish together: I just had to think of another solution rather than the standard one. :) (OK, it might be a stretch ...) (The grandfather solution was easy enough to think of: something similar was mentioned in the comments at Richard Wiseman's blog. :)

Here's one ... 2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing They each catch a fish Total number of fish caught = 3 (please explain)

Ummm ... I wouldn't want to kill anyone but if I were going to, I guess it would be the fewest amount possible while still keeping my promise. (use those loopholes, baby)

"You" are supposed to be the one doing the killing, why should "you" run away?

Run away??

Thanks! Most of the work right now is just getting enough content so that there's at least some regular updates, although the amount of work will increase drastically if people start submitting lots of blog articles to include.

Good luck. It sounds like a HUGE project!
