					<description><![CDATA[Music is one of those things in life that can stir up a lot of emotional debate. First is, of course, arguments over which musical style&#8211;Hip Hop, Country, Jazz, etc.&#8211;is best. Then there are disagreements about the best songs an artist has recorded.

For the uninitiated, it is a site devoted to awesome new science discoveries, science jokes, and geek paraphernalia. Think of it as a rock and roll science site complete with t-shirts, jewelry, and posters. What I think is even cooler is that [&#8230;]]]></description>

As a child of the sixties, hair wars comprised much of my life. Exhibit A was my high school. Every day, the dean of boys walked the [&#8230;]]]></description>
