As you may have seen last week, there are new images taken by the Hubble telescope from deep field. This isn’t just deep space – this is up to an estimated 13 billion years in space/time.  What they did was, instead of pointing the telescope at something, they – in what sounds like something that […]

The world’s rock bands need your help!  Clearly, the world is running out of viable names for rock bands, as the emergence of more and more strained, awful band names come up, such as !!!(pronounced “chk, chk, chk”), And They Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, and Dance of the Mourning Child.  Obviously, […]
