Oh, mighty iPod, it is a sunny, scary friday, and we ask hubmly:
is dark energy really bad for astronomy?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

As always, the Key as explained by Sean
Galactic Interactions and Cosmic Variance speak out.
The Future
Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war
I can't be bothered to find out
What we are fighting for
No one can win this war of the senses
I see no reason to drop my defences
So stand fast my emotions,
Rally round my shaking heart
More like this
Rainy, rainy friday, again.
So, we have consulted and met, and we ask the iPod: you know what we ask, what should we do?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.
I will, with sadness, note that the tenor Luciano Pavarotti has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 71 and probably the greatest tenor of his generation (source)
This is timeless ...
Friday, at last, and just one more week to go.
So... lets be scientific today and ask the Mighty Inscrutable iPod One: have seasonal modulation of WIMPy Cold Dark Matter really been detected, as reported?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.
Sunny, sunny friday at home!
So, we cheerfully skip to The Mighty iPod One and ask blithely:
oh, Mighty iPod, will we be seeing some interestingly habitable planets in the zone soon?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.
