Dark Matter objects billions of light years in length have been found.

Example: object CL0024+17 imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope is a ring of Dark Matter.

Huh. I've only heard people pronounce it like that.
Or they pronounce it Dee Khalb.

Yeah, I noticed that the only people who pronounce it right are from here, or they know somebody who lived here at one point.

You pretty much pronounce the "al" in the "Kalb" part as "el"

Getting back on topic, De Kalb is also known for having Northern Illinois University (yes, that's the same college that had the school shooting on Valentine's Day around 4-5 years ago), some of the best damn corn, and the yearly music festival "Corn Fest", which has rides, games, food, music, and is free to enter. Hell, Corn Fest even has a free corn on the second day that's cooked using a steam tractor. Hell, 38 Special played at it a few years back.

In the episode of "Castle" where a murder happens at a comic/sci-fi/fantasy convention, Castle mentions a few tv shows that were cancelled and had big fandoms. He ends the list by saying, and I quote, "that one Joss Whedon show". That show was Firefly, which Nathan Fillion, who plays Castle, was on.

A Bioshock movie was planned to be released in 2011, and was gonna be directed by the same guy who directed "Pirates of the Carribean", but there have been so many issues, including studios refusing to produce such an expensive project with a violent theme, and budget issues making it hard to film overseas and causing the director to change. It has officially stopped, but Ken Levine, the creative director on the games, hopes that one day they can make an adaptation that both he and the producers would agree on.

Vin Diesel is a fan of DnD. His tattoo on his stomach in XXX was a nod to his DnD character, and he even wrote the forward for one of the books.
