Interesting physics gossip, but my main reason for posting this was that I thought some of you would enjoy the characterization of Mother Nature in this quote:
"The common lore is that particle physics papers appearing in Nature (the magazine, not the bitch) are those claiming a discovery."

EDIT
"...that Nature is about to publish a CDMS paper on dark matter, is completely false.... Your 'fact' therefore contains as much truth as the average Fox News story, and I would be grateful if you would correct it immediately."
