Professor Set to Swim Through Syrup

The lean-muscled swimmer stands poised at the side of the pool, glances a bit apprehensively into its depths, and then dives quickly into the greenish, slimy liquid. A few gelatinous globules bob gently to the surface.

What has happened to the normally azure, chlorine-scented waters of the University Aquatic Center?

Much as the scene resembles the anxiety-fueled dream of an athlete the night before a big swim meet, the swimmer and pool actually were part of a real-world—though admittedly unconventional—foray into experimental fluid mechanics.

For a few hours last summer, a University pool was transformed into a body of water that looked more like a fully functioning swamp than a swimmer's arena. Members of the University swim team became field researchers in an effort to settle one of the questions that has intrigued scientists—and swimmers—for centuries:

Suicide Mistaken for Halloween Decoration

FREDERICA, Del. - The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said.

The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.

State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time Wednesday but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later.

"They thought it was a Halloween decoration," Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, told The (Wilmington) News Journal.

"It looked like something somebody would have rigged up," she said.

Sweet Jesus... how can this be... it's just sad.

They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna.
