The Onion: Republicans Vote To Repeal Obama-Backed Bill That Would Destroy Asteroid Headed For Earth

“This law is a job killer,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who argued the tax increases required to save the human species from annihilation would impose unbearably high costs on businesses. “If we sit back and do nothing, Obamastroid will result in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, which we simply can’t afford in this economy.”

“And consider how much money this program will add to our already bloated deficit,” Foxx continued. “Is this the legacy we want to leave our children?”

What is a Neutrino…And Why Do They Matter?

Brief summary of neutrinos. There’s a strange quote at the end, though, which bothers me more than the “give off puffs of energy” tucked into the explanation.

“If 100 years ago, I told someone that the universe was filled with massless, chargeless particles with no energy, I wonder if they’d have believed you,” Conway said

I’m not believing you now. The article just got done saying that neutrinos aren’t massless, and how do they have no energy? I wonder of the quote was mangled or is out of context.
