Scientific American:

Dark-Matter Dwarf Galaxies May Girdle the Milky Way
http://www.sciam.com/news/052202/1.html

You have to love the quote...

"The scientists remain puzzled as to why these dark-matter galaxies
 contain few or no stars, however, given that 10 to 20 percent of
 their mass should exist as normal matter. "It's difficult to hide
 that much material," Dalal observes."

SI-A, leans over and says to SI-B, "Isn't it really sad
what these bacteriophages on bacteria in the warts on
cockroaches consider to be 'difficult'".

Full article is supposed to appear in the 10 June issue
of Astrophysical Journal (is this online or in preprint
form yet???)

I suppose its time to go play tease the astronomer...
