Olbers' Paradox

Why is the night sky dark?

Shouldn't it be piercingly bright because of all the light from all the stars in the universe?

What happens to the light?

It's absorbed by matter between the Earth and the stars?

Why isn't everything glowing white hot then?

The universe hasn't been around long enough?

Actually, light from distant objects is redshifted (moves towards the red end of the spectrum).

I used to play a game called Solar Quest in which I drew Red Shift cards whenever I rolled a double.
I always liked to collect the moons of Saturn, and the space docks.

Ryan v. Parasite

I've been feeling kind of crummy for awhile...like a year, and it would never go away. I even had this weird eczema going on around my eyes. It seemed something was continually leaching my energy, but tests showed no obvious parasites. Finally I found this page: http://curezone.com/diseases/parasites/
Then I started taking an extract and pills with anti-parasitic properties.

I immediately felt better, and after three days I feel like a new human creature. I can eat what I want and feel satisfied afterwards. I have an appetite again. Incredible. This has been bugging me for around a year and a half, and all it takes is the right herbal extract to cure me. When something works, it works.
