Friends,
Scientists have been known to use the word “dark” to sound smart when they’re really talking about phenomena they can’t properly explain (give something a name and it appears a lot less mysterious).

· Dark Matter is used to describe
missing stuff we believe must be there to produce the requisite gravity needed
to hold galaxies together.
· Dark Energy is used as a crutch to
explain the force driving the Universe’s inexplicable accelerating expansion.
· Dark Flow is the observed drift of
thousands of galaxies, being pulled towards what might be a super-massive
object outside the observable universe (perhaps a sibling universe?), somewhere
between the constellations Centaurus and Vela.
If scientists can do this, why not common folk like you
and I? Here are a few I can think of:
· Dark Homework is that assignment
you swear you turned-in yet somehow your teacher has no record of having
received.
· In the world of telecommunications, Dark
Fiber must be an idealized transport method customers believe will
deliver unfathomable capacity at ridiculously low prices –the golden unicorn of
network access methods –pardon my Dark Humor.
· Finally there are Dark Donuts
which come from the Donut Bar – a place which doesn’t serve liquor but does
have a nice selection of inebriatingly delicious pastries.
So satisfy that dark need for a sugar fix. You may not be
able to explain it, but you know you want it.
Happy Friday!
