Tenets, not tenants. Unless there's rent involved.
Fair enough. As long as I keep they're, there and their sorted, I'm only moderately embarrassed.

Not sure if serious, but:
Quote:Whatever dark matter is, it appears to clump into large clouds called haloes that engulf galaxies, including our own Milky Way. As the solar system makes its regular progression around the galaxy, it flies through this halo, causing dark matter to bombard the sun and planets with a steady "wind," just as flies will hit the windshield of a fast-moving car. Earth, however, is also revolving around the sun. Astrophysicists have assumed that when it is moving against the direction of the dark matter wind (which happens to be during summer), we should see an uptick in dark matter particles of a few percent, and a corresponding decrease when Earth is traveling with the tide during winter.
