Frozen light

      Um, I don't know how to say this but, well, they're freezing light now... http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?art...1&chanID=sa008
      Actually, I think that story is pretty old, but it was news to me.

Is this anything light freezing bromine in an excited state and then lazing it in order to extract a higher potential energy state out of it for use in secret space-based incineration weapons? Is Val Kilmer involved in this project somehow?

"Can you drive a six inch spike through a board with your penis?"

"Not yet."

"A girl has to have her standards..."

Extra points for those who love this movie as much as I do!

Changing lanes, cinematically speaking...

"Are all nerds as good as you?"

"Sure. Because all we do is think about sex. All jocks think about is sports."
