Early this morning, the Sun erupted with an explosion I can only describe as ginormous. We're in no danger from it, but the size and scope of this thing are simply spectacular.

During a recent Royal visit (I'm assuming this was around January 2008), the Royal Guard puts their dark WELSH sense humour into play... They accompanied Saudi Sheik's King Abdullah arrival with the "Imperial theme of Darth Vader" from STAR WARS.. Hahaha! The first two minutes of this clip are funny, but the 'debate' sequence dragged-on a bit. But I'll let you be the judge of that. Enjoy!

The game of Jeopardy! makes great demands on its players - from the range of topical knowledge covered to the nuances in language employed in the clues. Can the analytical power of a computer system - normally accustomed to executing precise requests - overcome these obstacles? Can the troves of knowledge written in human terms become easily searchable by a machine in order to deliver a single, precise answer? Can a quiz show help advance science?
