The Phoenix Mars Lander may have found signs of a toxic substance, perchlorate, in the Martian dirt. Further tests are needed to determine if the perchlorate, which is used in rocket fuel, is naturally in the dirt or if it was there from contamination from the spacecraft.
Bruce Ivins, the man the FBI believes was behind the anthrax mailings in 2002 which killed five people, may have had a strange obsession with the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. In a very odd twist to a most odd case, the FBI believes that Ivins drive to the campus of Princeton an mailed the laced envelopes in a mailbox that was about 100 yards from where the KKG stored their rush materials and other property. Ivins committed suicide last week as authorities were preparing to indict him on murder charges.

Word of the Day:

Ah, that's funny, because I just saw reference to them yesterday as Brangi and I thought, "well, that's a new angle" That would be too funny if that's how People got around their agreement!
*maybe* you won't be the only fool this week.
