Friday Fragments (5/27/11)

Well it's that time of year...for graduations I mean.  I hope to have an interesting take on graduation ceremonies that I will post shortly (I want to get through my brother's high school graduation that is tonight for completeness).  But until then, here are a few links to keep you busy and get you thinking about....stuff!

-An Australian college student solved a astrophysics mystery as part of a summer internship.  I think that will look pretty good on her resume!  I also think it's crazy that scientists have been searching for this "missing matter" for two decades and it took this girl like 2 months to find it.

-Does God exist?  Well, I'm not here to tell you one way or the other but a scientist by the name of Kurt Godel seemed to give a mathematical proof of God (or more specifically the greatest being imaginable).  It's intriguing and a nice to ponder if you want a good deep thinking session.  Click here for a short summary and click here for the long, much more confusing version.

-Crazy fact of the day...it takes 12.5 million Spam emails to sell $100 worth of viagra!  I just can't imagine how much spam there will be when Viagra goes off patent in 2012!

Hopefully this can be a little pick me up for any of you that are either bored or need some distraction this afternoon!
