Why do journalists even try to cover science? They should stick with reporting the antics of Paris and Britney. - drlha, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9Indeed, that quote makes absolutely no sense at all. I would also point out that even the headline is wrong. The image is not a map of Gamma-Ray Bursts, but actually a map of the Gamma-ray sky, which is a very different thing. Most of the stuff on that map is from our own galaxy (apart from 3C454.3 and probably a few other blazars off the plane), Gamma-Ray bursts are all extra galactic (i.e. not from "across the Milky Way") and so fleeting in nature that they wouldn't show up in a map like this.

- stewpac, on 08/28/2008, -2/+2"While attempting to investigate a strange disturbance in space, Reed Richards, his wife Sue, her brother Johnny Storm and Reed's best friend, Ben Grimm were thrown of course when their ship was bombarded with cosmic rays.
The accident altered their bodies in strange ways, Reed could now stretch and mold his body into any shape he pleased; Sue had the ability to turn herself and objects around her invisible; Johnny could create and manipulate flames and Ben was permanently turned into an ugly, orange rocked creature with barbaric strength. Together, with their new found powers, they began battling evil and exploring the unknown. " - DDION, on 08/28/2008, -2/+2Be sure to duck and cover
