Scientists can learn a lot about winds from old pictures of Uranus
We now know a lot more about the weather on Uranus thanks to 24-year-old data. A new analysis of data collected by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989 revealed that while the atmosphere is full of the violent windstorms we expected, the surface is surprisingly calm. The storms, scientists say, are confined to a thin weather layer 680 miles deep at most. They say this discovery could help us understand more about how gas giant atmospheres work. Though NASA says we won't get any information that's up to today's standards for a while, they're hoping to learn more about the surface of gas giants from the Juno spacecraft currently headed to Jupiter.

Why am I just now finding out that BF3 has a single-player campaign?
Jesus Christ.

You'll thank me later.
"characterized the bombing victims as “collateral damage” and will now be used in court."
WTF?

Dick Trickle, former NASCAR driver, dies
Authorities in North Carolina said Dick Trickle died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Thursday, May 16, 2013. He was 71.
Dick Trickle, a former NASCAR driver whose larger-than-life personality and penchant for fun won him legions of fans despite a lack of success beyond the nation's small tracks, died Thursday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. He was 71.The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said authorities received a call believed to be from Trickle, who said "there would be a dead body and it would be his."
Authorities tried to call the number back, but no one answered.
Trickle's body was found near his pickup truck at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Boger City, N.C., about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte. Sheriff's Lieutenant Tim Johnson said foul play was not suspected.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Dick Trickle on his passing today," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. "Dick was a legend in the short-track racing community, particularly in his home state of Wisconsin, and he was a true fan favorite. Personalities like Dick Trickle helped shape our sport. He will be missed."
Trickle earned his reputation as a successful short track driver before joining the Winston Cup series and earning rookie of the year in 1989 at age 48.
He competed in more than 300 Cup races. Although he never won a Cup race and won just two Busch Series races, Trickle earned cult status. Former ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann was enamored of the driver's name, and would regularly mention where Trickle finished after each NASCAR race, drawing snickers from race fans.
Former NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine said there was only one way to describe Trickle, a native of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.
"Fun," Bodine said. "Just plain fun."
Trickle was never one to be told how to live his life. He was known for cutting a hole in his racing helmet so he could have a smoke break when the caution flags flew. One video clip shows him at the Winston 500, lighting up while driving his stock car with his knees.
"He always kept a cigarette lighter in his car," Bodine said in a telephone interview. "It's all just sad. We don't understand why he would do this. Hopefully we will all learn why he would do that. There was something that triggered him to take his own life. We are all really saddened by this in the racing community."
NASCAR does not keep track of short-track records, but according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Trickle won more than 1,000 short-track races throughout the country during his prime. He was a seven-time winner in the regional ARTGO Challenge Series in the late 1970s and mid '80s. Trickle also captured the ASA AC-Delco Challenge Series in back-to-back years in 1984-85 before turning to Cup racing.
Trickle lived in Iron Station, N.C., for more than 20 years. Bodine said Trickle was full of stories and popular because of it.
"People everywhere knew his name," Bodine said. "That's why they used his likeness in that movie 'Days of Thunder.' He was such a character."
The main character in that popular niche racing movie, played by Tom Cruise, was named Cole Trickle.
Bodine said that a few years ago he had to back out of a celebrity cruise for patients who were on kidney dialysis. He asked Trickle to fill in.
"He made such an impression on people on that ship that everyone wanted to know when Dick was coming back," Bodine said. "They loved him. They tell me he was the last man to leave most of the bars on the ship and I believe it."
Bodine also recalled inviting Trickle to compete in one of his bobsled events in 2004 at Lake Placid, N.Y.
He said Trickle went down the first time and crashed. After being cleared by doctors to continue, Trickle tried again and crashed in the same place.
"They were doing interviews with him on TV and he was like, 'I don't know what happened, I did the exact same thing I did the first time,'" Bodine said. "And we're all looking at him like, hey Dick, maybe that was the problem."

You must not watch a lot of gore on the internet. This is totally possible. Even with the whole lower body gone.
I would post links to photos and videos if it were allowed.
I should stop the homosexual jokes because it just makes me look stupid.
