New Earth? (Science)

Scientists have discovered a planet that has the potential to host life. Five times the mass of earth, it orbits the red star Gliese 581. Dr Dimitar Sasselov of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics claims we can "go there" although it is "20 lightyears away".


So what are we going to call it? Earth -2? Counter-Earth? New Universe? Stop finding about stuff that's never really going to help us!

Virgina Tech massacre (International)

On April 12, 31 people in Virgina Polytechnic Institute and State University were ruthlessly gunned down by a South Korean student. The gunman himself later commited suicide. This makes the killings the deadliest school massacre in American history.

Perhaps this is a good time for Americans to re-look its gun policy. This massacre was an accident waiting to happen. All it takes is a pyscho with a gun and all hell breaks loose.
