No Joking Matter

This one is reminiscint of a Paul Harvey report:

Wedding jokes aren't always funny. When a bride in Austria jokingly answered "no" instead of "yes" when asked if she wanted to marry her husband-to-be, the official performing the civil wedding promptly broke off the ceremony.

Not even the bride's sobs could reverse the decision and the couple had to wait two and a half months before they could give it another successful try, the Austrian newspaper Oberoesterreichischen Nachrichten reported Friday.

Scientists have used the Hubble Telescope to map the dark matter in the universe.  I'd like to know what color it is...
