Dark Matter? Or is it?

An interesting story has popped up on the BBC website this weekend, revealing that certain types of galaxy recently discovered may challenge the existence of Dark Matter. Everyone I am sure has heard of dark matter be it in a comic book, through being a bit of a nerd, or reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.
I'm feeling very proud of the BBC as I write this, they have included a link to the new paper, and a link to one of the original papers. They have included links to all of the external bodies related to the research and have presented quite a good story, hardly a whisper of sensationalism in it. (I would have thought that the BBC would be making contrast to the Dark Matter Bomb in Angel;s and Demons as they seem to sensationalise most other things).
