Covalent writes "Scientists suggest that the early universe could be better understood by considering its viscosity which, as it turns out, was similar to that of chocolate syrup. Researchers claim to be able to use this approach (along with as yet unavailable measurements) to determine precisely how inflation took place in the instants after the Big Bang.

Green cheese, the Milky Way... Now chocolate syrup. The universe is a complicated but delicious place!"

    Well, it certainly explains the large amount of dark matter in the universe: Chocolate syrup is dark.

    Hmmm ... why is that one at -1, and the one over there [soylentnews.org] which basically makes the same joke (and was posted later) at +3?
