Scrunched paper balls baffle researchers: "No matter how tightly you crumple paper into a ball, you'll be hard-pressed to come up with a structure composed of less than about 90 per cent air. 'It's technically possible to compress them further,' says Cambou, 'but that will take a lot more force because the crumpled sheet increasingly opposes the external force as it's crushed.' Menon and Cambou wanted to know why."

Michelangelo Signorile on gay former Santorum aide Robert Traynham, who was on Hardball last week defending him: "Why Traynham, as a gay man, was ever working for Rick Santorum is of course a question we ask all the time about gay conservatives who publicly support the very politicians who would strip them of their rights. Santorum attempted to turn Traynham into a victim in the way that Dick Cheney claimed his lesbian daughter Mary was under attack for supporting an administration that pushed a federal marriage amendment. Traynham now seems to be returning the favor, going public even though he's previously tried to hide any association with Santorum. But he and the campaign must be smoking something pretty powerful if they think people are going to buy it."
