Cave Story on WiiWare? Surprising, but welcome.

Sweet. Maybe now I can convince other people to play it. For some reason nobody I knows wants to suck it up and play on a keyboard. Nevermind that they play other emulated games like that.

Also, the double recipients of the chemistry prize on that page are amusing.

Not only have they found a virus that attacks cancer cells while leaving normal human cells alone, but they have mapped out its structure. A little bit of good news I guess.
