I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

"In April 2003, Connecticut surfaced through the Arctic ice at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station (APLIS). While there, she came under attack by a polar bear, which gnawed on her rudder for a while before disengaging.[1] Connecticut was able to complete her mission and return to base under her own power."

Actually the title should have been "Gravity 1 Technology 0". :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Yes. I would imagine that it's named after the state.

Well, I don't claim to be a "scientist," but I did take some courses in college, and I'm fairly sure that gravity is a natural phenomenon. Though, it certainly can be difficult to keep up with the research these days.
