The superconductor proceeded to text its ex-girlfriend all night.
Couldn't help it. But I did try and find a more sober analysis of what was going on as it seemed that the only accurate words in the title were "scientists" and "superconductor." All I found was a press release from NIMS saying they would announce at ASC2010.
"The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS; President: Sukekatsu Ushioda) has discovered that alcoholic beverages, including red wine, beer, and others, are effective in inducing superconductivity in Fe(Te,S), which is an iron-based superconductivity related substance. This result was obtained in research by a team headed by Dr. Yoshihiko Takano, Group Leader of the Nano Frontier Materials Group of the NIMS Superconducting Materials Center (Managing Director: Hiroaki Kumakura)."
Ok, I've got to ask: is there anything red wine won't do? Maybe scientists should start investigating it for use as an alternative to fossil-fuels as well? ;)
I propose an addition to all scientific testing. In addition to the control you also have an 'alternate' which is red wine. It would seemingly solve a lot of scientific research and may lead to untold leaps forward in technology. Or we could end up with millions of drunken scientists clogging the data pathways by texting their ex's and drunk-facebook stalking.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't state they were drunk. They had a party and decided to test other liquids. Wine came out best.

Though completely content-less humor comments are not explicitly against the guidelines, as you point out, for a long time now many many users have frowned on them.
Maybe its just time for me to start ignoring the discussions.
