Mysterious gravitational anomaly...

Mysterious gravitational anomaly.  Sometimes, but not always, when satellites pass close by the Earth their speed changes by an unexpected amount – as if the mass of the earth was variable on very short time scales.  Scientists are stumped.

Say, I wonder if they've tried to correlate these anomalies with when Congress is in session?  Maybe having that many empty skulls in one place distorts the Earth's gravitational field.  It certainly distorts my equanimity!
