The Madness has started!!! The NCAA Final Four tounament began today, and already there has been some nail bitters. I was watching the Maryland/George Mason game, and the 3rd seeded Maryland just barely beat them. It's stuff like that that is the reason I love this time of the year.

An 8th grader in Georgia accidently discovered a new mathmatical theorm by just messing around with triangles during a free period. The article says it doesn't have any practical applications, and it's quite vague on what exactly the theorm is, but it's still a neat story. And it also says that having a mathmatical theorm named after you will not get help you get a date, so there goes my plan :)

MIR is expected to come crashing down on March 22nd in the Pacific Ocean. So if I were you I don't think I'd want to be around that area at that time. It's also interesting to note that MIR has the second highest mass of any body orbiting the earth, the moon being the one with the greatest mass.
