You know, this is probably the most publicity any science project has received since the Moon Landing Hoax. :p

I'd mention something about something new in the world of Rule 34 right now, but I know that this place is far too classy for such talk.



In other news, something horrible has infected XKCD - check the alt-tag.

:Q

I moused over the image and it said Large Hardon Collider. Clicked it and took me to gay porn. :(

The world loves giant hardons, they've just been in the closet about it until now.

I think we should lead a Hardon Pride Parade.

lulz.

trying to paint Jefferson or Franklin as anything other than atheist is like trying to claim that Stalin was "a nice guy."

People think that the separation of state and church was to protect just the state. It was to protect the church as well from being used as a tool of the state, something that happened anyway (look at the last few elections).

"...People are panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

I think the best way to explain this would be to use a metaphor. I find the scene at the end of Dumb and Dumber, where Lloyd (Jim Carrey's character) asks Mary what his chances with her are to be fitting.

Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: Not good, like one in a hundred?
Mary: More like one in a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance!

Now, Lloyd represents the average/below average person (really even plenty of above average as well), and the question is what are the chances of it creating a black hole and sucks the earth and everybody into it. Oh, and take that one in a million and replace it with some obscene number that they wouldn't even be able to comprehend. You still get the same response.

Are you trying to say there's a finite positive chance that the world could end any moment now? I think I need to go draft my will. Brb.
