Scientists at Queen's University have made a finding that will help us to understand more about the turbulent solar weather and its effect on our planet. Along with scientists at the University of Sheffield and California State University, the researchers have detected giant twisting waves in the lower atmosphere of the Sun.

I was a Frosh at Rutgers University and our class discovered the Twist in the 1961.

"Scientists at Queen's University have made a finding that will help us to understand more about the turbulent solar weather and its effect on our planet.

Even though these "twisting waves" have just been discovered, President Obama inherited the problems of "turbulent solar weather and its effects on our planet" from the evil Bush Administration.

President Obama is pledging at least $1 Trillion Gazillion dollars to clean up the after-effects of Bush/Cheney/Rove's policies that allowed this "turbulent solar weather and its effects on our planet" to create the current economic crisis.

Barney Frank is considering introducing legislation to tax "twisting waves", reported an official at Queen's University.

Magnificent! I wanna know what happens to all that energy/plasma/matter when it heads off into the solar system...can we look forward to another planet some day? Is that how Venus came to be? Is that why the Babylonians only knew of four planets, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - until Venus joined the four 'planetary gods'?
