Dead wife for a coffee table
Jeff Green is a 32 year old American, in Arizona, whose wife passed away. Due to the grief he suffered at her death, he did something totally out of character for a normal and sane person.
He said, “I could no longer take the pain that my wife’s death caused me and so I brought her back home.” He said: I’d rather have her at home than six feet under ground. Lucy had a great sense of humour and I’m sure she would appreciate being my coffee table.”

The life cycle of a star
In clouds of dust and gas called nebula, stars are born. The Sun in our Solar System was born in a nebula, estimated at 5 billion years ago. The gas is mostly hydrogen and some helium. It begins to condense (pull together) to form a protostar which is not at all stable. As the matter condenses, it becomes “hotter.”
If the matter does not heat to a critical stage, the protostar does not develop further into a star. Instead it becomes a brown dwarf, something that is not too big, not too hot, not too bright. Stars tend to born as “twins” so that one may develop into a star and the other a brown dwarf. Read more

Examining U.S. nuclear reactor/fault line geography
Some nuclear power food for thought: A lot of tumult has been taking place here in America over the nuclear crisis unfolding in Japan. This has ranged from rational concerns (this model of reactor seems unsafe!) to the not-so-rational ones (I need to buy potassium iodide RIGHT NOW!). With that in mind, we’ve decided to focus on a simple, practically important question; if the Mark 1 Reactor is indeed inferior on safety, where are ours and are they earthquake safe? The map tells the tale: 23 plants are presently using a Mark 1, all of which are in the eastern half of the country.
