Reason for fever discovered 2008-04-01

American scientists made one of the biggest discoveries on the way to understanding ourselves in the last 20 years.

The long standing mystery of why the human body develops a fever when it's ill, has finally be solved. In an interdisciplinary effort by medical doctors and physicists it was discovered, that the human immunesystem is exothermic. When an antibody-cell encounters a body-cell, a cancellation happens and two quantums of energy are emitted. If the particular infection leads to a large count of antibody cells, this results in a large amount of cancellations and in turn in lots of energy, that heats up the body.

What a great day for humanity!

A little late, but hurray! Somebody fell for it! :-) Please have a look at the date. This was an April Fool's joke and a (bad) play of words. Please don't take anything in there seriously.
