Some Quick Links

For some reason, these two links seem related to me:

• The Science of Star Wars. "One of the things I find less realistic in movies is that the planets tend to be very uniform in climate. With Mars and Earth you tend to have lots of variation across the planet, but planets in movies are characteristic of one climate area. So you have the jungle planet, the ice planet, and so on. But the most amazing thing about Dagobah, of course, is that Luke just happened to fall within hundreds of feet of Yoda. I suppose we chalk that up to the Force."
• Genes blamed for fickle female orgasm. Clumsy, impatient researchers blameless, say nation's greatest minds.
