I would never dream of such a crass act Meden. The code of Bushido remains a classic.
Here's one about a star farting. I know that when I fart it feels like I have turned inside out. Star Explodes and Turns Inside out

Supernova Explosion Ripped Star's Guts Inside OutPublished April 02, 2012-Space.com
A massive supernova explosion that destroyed a faraway star apparently turned the left over stellar corpse inside out as well, scientists say. Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory spacecraft, a team of researchers mapped the distribution of elements in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A for short) in unprecedented detail. They found that Cas A — which is located about 11,000 light-years from Earth and exploded 300 years ago from our perspective — is wearing its guts on the outside. Before it went supernova, the star Cas A likely had an iron-rich core that was surrounded by layers of sulfur and silicon, which were in turn overlaid by magnesium, neon and oxygen, researchers said. |

iBrain could help Stephen Hawking speak again by reading his mindPublished April 04, 2012-FoxNews.com
Researchers are trying to help Stephen Hawking communicate more effectively again -- with an ambitious new device that reads his mind. The world-renowned physicist, who suffers from Lou Gherig’s disease, has seen his ability to communicate deteriorate over the years as he further loses the ability to control his body. Currently, Hawking “speaks” through special glasses that pick up slight twitches in his cheek, a slow, arduous, and tiresome process that can often take several minutes to generate a short message. But now, a team led by Philip Low, a 32-year-old neuroscientist and chief executive of NeuroVigil, is experimenting with a device that could help Hawking “speak” more freely -- with his mind. The black headband, aptly named iBrain, could eventually allow Hawking to communicate simply by thinking. |

Scientists closing in on black hole at center of our galaxy
Written By Clara Moskowitz-Published April 05, 2012-Space.com
Though scientists have suspected for a while that a giant black hole
lurks at the center of our galaxy, they still can't say for sure it's
the explanation for the strange behavior observed there. Now researchers
are closer than ever to being able to image this region and probe the
physics at work – potentially shedding light on the great conflict
between the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics.At the heart of the Milky Way,
astronomers see some wacky things. For example, about a dozen stars
seem to be orbiting some invisible object. One star has been found to
make a 16-year orbit around the unseen thing, moving at the
hard-to-imagine speed of about 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) a second.
By comparison, the sun moves through space at a comparatively glacial
137 miles (220 kilometers) a second. Based on the laws of motion, these dozen stars' orbits should be caused by the gravitational pull of some massive object in the center of the galaxy. Yet telescopes observe nothing there. |

Museum Exhibit Shows Animals Turned Inside OutPublished April 04, 2012-FoxNews.com
See the animal kingdom from a whole new perspective. The team that brought you "Body Worlds" -- the traveling exhibition of preserved human bodies -- has something brand new up its sleeve: animals. Employing once again the "plastination" process, invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens at the Anatomical Institute of Heidelberg University in 1977, the new exhibition, dubbed Animals Inside Out, provides a never before look at nearly 100 different animal species -- from giraffes, to elephants, and even sharks. While zoos present animals in environments that resemble their natural habitat, Animals Inside Out give onlookers a peek inside, "into a 3rd dimension of experience." With their special technique of preservation, the crew replaces all liquids and soluble fats with solvents, and then later resins or elastomers. Once the specimen is hardened, the final product is resistant to decay and completely odorless. |
