Huh. Possible evidence for another universe: Is the "Great Void" One-Billion Light Years Across the Imprint of Another Universe or a Statistical Error?
In 2004 astronomers found an enormous hole in the southern hemisphere of the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." This was a startling finding, since accepted models of the early universe say that the big bang created an initially uniform cosmic landscape, when viewed on large scales. While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this discovery dwarfed them all. This "nothing" is an enormous hole in the cosmos that defies standard cosmology and might just be the imprint of another universe bumping against our own while some astronomers suggested the spot could be a supervoid, a remnant of an early phase transition in the universe.
...
Meanwhile, Laura Mersini-Houghton of the University of North Carolina theorizes is that it could be the imprint of another universe beyond our own, caused by quantum entanglement between universes before they were separated by cosmic inflation. Laura Mersini-Houghton said, "Standard cosmology cannot explain such a giant cosmic hole" and made the remarkable hypothesis that the WMAP cold spot is "… the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own."
I wonder if everyone in that universe wears a goatee...
(Hey, I had to make that joke. Or someone else would have.)

Well, my dad seems to have overdrawn his bank account. Nice trick, given that he died in February and all of his accounts were cancelled by March. So here I sit in the bank.

Did they charge a "You're dead and canceled your account" fee?

No, because we have the executor account (in a different name) here, too. But they did charge a dead-man-spending fee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Calli, uggh. I hope it gets resolved quickly.

Oh, dear, Calli. I hope they get it figured out quickly.

Yes. And there are no shrimp.
