Now this is just cool. Astronomers have found an enormous void in the universe.

Now that's really not going to help them find all the missing matter in the universe if they keep finding big chunks of even-more-empty-than-usual space. :)

At least they know they didn't put it in *that* particular region. :)

Unless it's really really *really* dark matter. :)

...North America is already considering it as a possible new garbage site....

Or for building suburbs...

Condos! I wonder what the mortgage rate would be.

Meanwhile, Canada is claiming it as their own and Russian astronauts have sneakily gone and planted a flag... or at least tried to.

The US is still claiming it'll be good for the economy, refuses to entertain building any mass transit to and from because the commute to work "isn't so bad."

The Russians? They've got a flag? Damn, that's dashed cunning of them!

Hey, don't mock the Russians, this last week they've started running Tupolev nuclear-capable bombers direct towards our airspace again, and turning back at the last minute with our air defence fighters in close escort. Which they haven't done since the good old days of the Cold War when we were all about to get blown up at any second.

Fun!

Oh brilliant. The Republicans here want nothing more than to resurrect Holy Father Ronald Reagan; I guess the new Cold War is unavoidable.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Yep. And the cold war works pretty damned well for Putin too. Only this time he thinks he can win it because the Russians suddenly have a lot of money thanks to their gas reserves that t hey're selling to the EU for vast sums of cold hard foreign currency.
