   Chuckle...we don't know what `dark _matter_ ' is but we conclude it   
   cannot be ordinary or normal because that would screw up our   
   observations even though we can not observe it ...chuckle   
      
   Modern astronomy is getting to be a real pain with uncertainty,   
   strings, 11 dimentions, an strange `matter' that is not observed. Now   
   we can move to a consideration of dark energy and anti-matter of   
   which we occasionally get a fleeting glimpse .  Oh for the happy days   
   in pursuit of the bashful nutrenos. I believe I will hid in a   
   singularity or a worm hole - both elusive in their own right.
