17 Teveth 5766/17 January 2006: Pluto weirdness

Greetings.

Various news:

• “The perks of political failure”
  
• “40% Ashkenazim come from matriarchs”
  
• “Some Safety and Reliability Questions About DRM”
  
• “Man Solves Rubik's Cube in 11.13 Seconds”
  
• “How soft drinks refresh your memory”

Today’s weird thing is “Pluto celebrates anniversary”. What is so weird about this story almost a year old is that the other day I found out that when the Hayden Planetarium decided their exhibits would not list Pluto as a planet anymore, they actually got hate mail from children. Enjoy.
