[h=2]We don't need spaceships anymore to learn about galaxies far, far away<span style="color: Red;">*</span>[/h]This is huge.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Scientists<span style="color: Red;">*</span>announced Thursday they detected gravitational waves for the first time, proving part of Albert<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Einstein’s theory of relativity. The waves were caused by<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the violent collision of two black holes more than a billion years<span style="color: Red;">*</span>ago. Physicists everywhere are losing their minds.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Explanation for those of us who aren't geniuses:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>There is so much about the universe we know nothing about, because the things we want to study are just too far away to observe with current technology. Gravitational waves help<span style="color: Red;">*</span>solve that problem. According to Einstein's 100-year-old theory, when huge<span style="color: Red;">*</span>objects in the universe collide, their gravity sends waves rippling through space and time. And now that we can detect those waves, they can tell us information about their source. Feel that breeze? Someone just opened a whole new window into the universe.
[h=2]The Oregon forest returns to its low-drama roots[/h]The month-long Oregon militia standoff came down to a cookie and a cigarette Thursday. That solved the moral dilemma for David Fry, 27, the final holdout in the federal wildlife refuge after his hour-long rant about everything wrong with the government. You know, like covering up UFOs. Fry was the last to go after three of his protesting peers surrendered peacefully. He gave one final demand: Everyone shout<span style="color: Red;">*</span>“hallelujah” as he leaves. Luckily, the FBI agents waiting to take him in obliged. Can we<span style="color: Red;">*</span>get an<span style="color: Red;">*</span>“Amen!” to that?

[h=2]You love your SUV so much Ford is making four more[/h]America is in an SUV boom, and Ford doesn't want to miss out. The company will launch<span style="color: Red;">*</span>four all-new sport-utility vehicles and crossovers over the next four years. Ford said it's not eliminating any current models as part of the plan. So how guilty should we<span style="color: Red;">*</span>feel<span style="color: Red;">*</span>about our carbon footprint? Not very. Turns out many SUVs and crossovers offer more space than a car with the same footprint and have comparable fuel economy.
[h=2]Superstitious? This probably isn’t the ship<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for you<span style="color: Red;">*</span>[/h]If you’re daring, a replica of the Titanic will set sail in 2018,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>according to an Australian billionaire funding the project.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Clive Palmer first unveiled plans to build the Titanic II in 2012, 100 years after the original ship sank.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The new<span style="color: Red;">*</span>ship will look identical to the original<span style="color: Red;">*</span>but will be safer, Palmer says. We hope so. We can’t take another Jack and Rose moment. The first voyage will travel from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Guarantee there won’t be any passengers from the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas<span style="color: Red;">*</span>cruise ship signing up!

The cause of death is likely suicide.
