Exploring the bowels of the bowling alley

Ryan forgot to mention that our bowling experience ended with me crawling around inside the ball return, poking a big stick at some bowling balls that had fallen off the track. I managed to get one of them close enough to grab but I didn't feel like messing with the other two. I was covered in dust and I realized..."Oh yeah, they probably PAY people to do this sort of thing." So I gave up.

CLARIFICATION: By "inside the ball return" I mean literally inside the damn thing. The thing that pops the balls out was pulled away, revealing a hole in the floor and a track on which the balls should normally return. I was inside this hole, underneath the floor, poking a stick at bowling balls.

The only reason I was so enthusiastically trying to get the balls out in the first place was because I had one frame left to bowl on the best game I'd had all night. I had broke triple digits, man! And damnit, I wanted to finish it out. We'll just pretend I bowled a 156. Humor me.

Cancer eating virus. That's some good news. Finally a virus that eats something besides my throat.

Casimir force. I thought this was interesting. This force is something like gravity that effects very small objects. It will be important in the development of nanotechnology.
