Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.

Ten questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score -- 6.5 correct -- was barely a passing grade.

The Knicks were in the lead in overtime and just needed to hang onto the ball to win the game. Well, lolnope, because Andrea Bargnani has a mental lapse and misses an ill-advised shot to give the ball back to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks ended up scoring and sending the game into a second overtime. This is one of the most boneheaded plays I've ever seen in the NBA.
