Unstable Galaxies

Computer simulations of the motions of spiral galaxies show them to be

simplest explanation for so many spiral galaxies, including our Milky
Way Galaxy, is that they and the universe are much younger than has
been assumed.

earthquakes, Nazis, dogs and cats living together, and the end of
civilization as we know it because of this short film.

The Netherlands raises its terrorism alert level to "substantial" due
to the upcoming release of ''Fitna:"
