2. "'Nano violin string' made of vibrating carbon nanotube (w/ Video)", reads the headline at Physorg.com, and it hooked me to look in- there is no word of music, may be I misread it- but what it is about is, scientists have made a nanotube out of carbon and passed electricity through it and made it vibrate- did it make music? Who knows! But the point is, that nanotube is 800 millionths of a millimeter- if you don't believe me, take the link and check the video.

Paul Gowder bemoans the fact that you cannot have parenthesis in speech: "Some guy was trying to give directions involving an intersection at which there are two left-turn lanes, and was completely unable to communicate the fact that his interlocutor should use the rightmost of those lanes, so as to be able to make an immediate right turn after the left turn." If you want to know how parenthesis would help here, Uncommon Priors is the place to look.
Hmmm... Be happy.
