Physicists might have created an artificial black hole. Is that really a good idea? (via /.)
Apparently, if you are so inclined, you can see the actual papers here.
In other news, "Hiya Gary," this parrot would say. "I love you Gary." The bird's owner, one Chris, was not pleased to hear his pet bird speak such words in the voice of his girlfriend. :) After breaking up with his girlfriend, the parrot's owner couldn't get the parrot to stop saying Gary's name, so he had to sell it. My favorite part of the article is the quote from his girlfriend:
Collins, who admitted the affair, said: "I'm not proud of what I did but I'm sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems.
"I am surprised to hear he got rid of that bird," she added to The Guardian newspaper. "He spent more time talking to it than he did to me."
Ouch! (Link via Boing Boing.)
Hm.. Interesting. I just looked up the Guardian article, and that last part of the quote is a bit different:
"I'm surprised to hear he's got rid of that bloody bird," she said.
Silly CNN editing. :)

I am extremely amused given the British slang use of the word "bird."
