Default Stupid News

sometimes you cant help but chuckle at some of the dumb things reporters write, even when it's an interesting piece:
Scottish lecturer found to be 'grandfather of everyone in Britain'

Which is dumb enough when put in headline.. that just makes him 'cousin'.. especially as the article points out there's not a full DNA connection.. but this tops it:
A retired lecturer who took a DNA test to find out where his ancestors came from has been found to be directly descended from the first woman on earth, who lived 190,000 years ago.
Now let's think about that.
What are the alternatives? Alien implantation?
And how do we know she was the 'first woman' if others' DNA dont carry the marker? Maybe she was the LAST mutation?

Sometimes science and reporters just need to read what they are saying and try to apply whatever common sense remains after their education.

In related news, So.. if the god particle is the basis of all matter, then what or who created the Higgs Boson?
Sheldon? Sheldon? Anyone....?
The Quantum Physics Mobius Loop survives the Hadron Collider.

Haha, wow. I understood most of that last part, mainly because I love watching the science channel. What can I say, I'm a bit of a nerd.
