      My guess is because of the very large multicolored-background text. (Wasn't me, but I do find it slightly obnoxious.)

          Whoda thunk it? Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a high-temperature superconductor using Scotch tape[^]! This could lead to new advances in quantum computing, they claim.

                High temperature is a relative term. In canadia the average temp is like -150C so ...

                                      I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking
