• Another ... Mt Washington Wind Speed Record (Score:1)

  Observer's comment on the front page http://www.mountwashington.org/ [mountwashington.org]; will probably be archived at http://www.mountwashington.org/cam/comments.php [mountwashington.org] as April 1 after it rolls?

  (This is a reference to the bogus windspeed claim for Air Force Station Guam in a typhoon, that threatened MtW's record.)

  The April-fool posting http://motls.blogspot.com/2005/04/glashow-finds-correct-stringy-vacuum.html [blogspot.com] includes a complete faux http://www.arxiv.org/ [arxiv.org] page http://schwinger.harvard.edu/~motl/0503250.html [harvard.edu] and even got picked up on the RSS feed "Diverse Blog Feeds" for ArXiv discussion at http://www.physcomments.org/ [physcomments.org]. This is another beautiful send-up of the divisions in theoretical physics. Glashow is quite the jokester on his own http://www.improbable.com/ig/past-highlights.html [improbable.com], so I'm sure he enjoyed it.
