Space news

John Johnson Jr. of the L A TIMES has the best headline/start of a science story today:

Universe Might Be More Egg-Shaped Than Spherical
Round may be the preferred shape of baseballs, bubbles and Cocoa Puffs.
The universe, however, may favor the ellipsoid.


Mrs. Ansari has come back from space...headlines still call her a "space tourist", not an Iranian American woman...biography HERE...she is a trekkie of course...
and of course she has a blog: LINK




and in another Trekkie news item, Tech republic tells you how to calculate the blood alcohol level of aliens...formula is found HERE

Just another example of how Trekkies changed the world.
