...makes for an oddly vibrant community with its own language, social structure and economy. Wizards and gods keep order and help newbies get their feet wet. Trolling singles in supermodel avs move swanlike through mating rituals old as the species and new as the next Java upgrade. Soccer moms swap family snapshots and grouse about how the place has gone downhill since the damn teens arrived...
...skill. Any notion that "chicks" can't cut it in the heavy metal world will quickly be put to rest by her amazing guitar pyrotechnics; as she is one of the few truly talented female guitarists in rock and roll today. Think of her as Beavis's wet dream...

The small tarmac crew motions the cars into position, first giving them a chance to "warm up their tires."

But when the spacecraft Galileo passed by these moons, it encountered strong disturbances in Jupiter's magnetic field -- too much to come from their cores, but just right for a highly conductive saltwater sea. Something 60 miles below the ice and about six miles deep, assuming they are as salty as their earthbound counterparts. You know, of course, what salt water means. "One could expect life in such oceans," said geophysicist Krishan Khurana, the lead author of the research...
