Just what the enigmatic body is has been the subject of much buzz in the astronomical community--and deservedly so. Astronomer S. George Djorgovski and his team at the California Institute of Technology first spotted the object in color photographs taken for an ongoing digitized survey of the northern skies. In one of the images, they noticed what seemed to be an oddly colored star in the constellation Serpens (the snake...
...grownups, my memory of middle school is a scratchy mental filmstrip of tiny triumphs punctuated by gigantic humiliations--the vomiting-on-my-sneakers incident of 1972, for example.

It also features scraps of verse along fairly predictable lines...
...that Hillary, his Senate rival, would be on Talk's cover (and not because party givers had planned to festoon the Brooklyn Navy Yard with thousands of condoms featuring the Talk logo). Undaunted, Brown went higher in the pantheon of landmarks and nailed down the Statue of Liberty. The buzz intensified when a prepublication parody on the Internet swept through the chattering classes, promising pieces about "celebrities who have died but still sleep with other celebrities," along with "Banter!
