"At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones."

California... I swear...



So they decided to let the existing gay marriages that happened before remain valid and yet... gay people still can't get married?

How the fuck does that logic work?

Computer Program Self-Discovers Laws of Physics
[info]storyofacynic
http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/newtonai.html

"In just over a day, a powerful computer program accomplished a feat that took physicists centuries to complete: extrapolating the laws of motion from a pendulum's swings.

Developed by Cornell researchers, the program deduced the natural laws without a shred of knowledge about physics or geometry.

The research is being heralded as a potential breakthrough for science in the Petabyte Age, where computers try to find regularities in massive datasets that are too big and complex for the human mind. (See Wired magazine's July 2008 cover story on "The End of Science.") "

Afghanistan To "Legalize Rape" In Marriage & Limit Women's Rights
[info]storyofacynic


"Afghanistan's President, Hamid Karzai, has signed a law which "legalises" rape, women's groups and the United Nations warn. Critics claim the president helped rush the bill through parliament in a bid to appease Islamic fundamentalists ahead of elections in August.

In a massive blow for women's rights, the new Shia Family Law negates the need for sexual consent between married couples, tacitly approves child marriage and restricts a woman's right to leave the home, according to UN papers seen by The Independent.

"It is one of the worst bills passed by the parliament this century," fumed Shinkai Karokhail, a woman MP who campaigned against the legislation. "It is totally against women's rights. This law makes women more vulnerable."
