It's now easier than ever in France to act out "Star Wars" fantasies, because its fencing federation has borrowed from a galaxy far, far away and officially recognized lightsaber dueling as a competitive sport, granting the iconic weapon from George Lucas' saga the same status as the foil, epee and sabre, the traditional blades used at the Olympics. En garde, Darth

Foil, épée, and sabre are probably considered too dangerous by today's generation of snowflakes (and their parents).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Wha? Even before a Hololens sequel could grace Microsoft's stage at MWC, the company has revived the Kinect, but in a buttoned-downed business sense. Dance if you want your data returned
OK, the 'patient falls' use-case is great, but I'm blanking on any other worthwhile 'enterprise' use.

About half as useful and usable as other sandboxes?
I mean, they do have a rep to maintain.

A team of particle physicists wanted “to unveil the deepest secrets of the Universe—and of Swedish cuisine.” So, naturally, they built a Swedish meatball collider. Maybe now we can find the Higg's beefon

I'm disappointed none of the involved were willing to admit that they did it with the hope of winning an IgNobel prize. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That actually is somewhat interesting. I wonder how much grant money that cost to come up with.

The internet’s address book keeper has warned of an “ongoing and significant risk” to key parts of the domain name system infrastructure, following months of increased attacks. I guess it's back to just typing IP addresses
Not looking forward to the switch to IPv6 in that case.

Intel's director of its neuromorphic computing initiative, Mike Davies, chided Facebook's Yann LeCun at an industry conference for failing to appreciate the virtues of the Intel technology. He derided the deep learning approach of LeCun and others as failing to truly add up to "learning." Switch statements aren't learning? I guess I learned something.
