well, in many cases, in my eyes, it's either a half-assed explanation which really doesn't explain anything but buggers around the point, a huge argument, or a "we're not going to die".
Of those, the only one a retarded AI couldn't come up with without any knowledge on the subject is a huge explanation.
Oct. 21, they start with the real tests.
Wait . . . maybe not the 21st, but around there, I think.

If anyone can point out the really funny thing about that website...
Well there's no prize, but you're definitely a nerd.

Is it the fact that the code does not seem to allow it to be set to yes?

The LHC will induce time travel, thus allowing the ancient Vikings to land on the moon and found the Illuminati. FACT!*
Personally, I'm waiting for the Really Large Hadron Collider, as described by Stephen Hawking in The Universe in a Nutshell. Basically, it's a particle accelerator that encircles the Solar System, allowing for energies high enough to probe the smallest estimates of the Planck length. Hoo-hah!
My physics prof was really excited about the test results today, but I couldn't quite make out what he was saying becuase his accent gets thicker when he's interested in something.
The conspiracy theory stuff reminds me of those crazy people with ideas about hollow planets and "New" energy and cubic time who always wind up comparing themselves favorably to "Hawkins". Which, of course, I interpret to mean they are comparing themselves to Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island who is almost certainly not any kind of scientist and a lot better at writing than these twits are.
*May not actually be a fact.

. . .I, uh . . . made my physics professor really excited about the tests today by excess of enthusiasm . ..
No, actually, he needed some things explained to him about the meaning of the test results. (He never studied quantum physics, he's mostly fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Those guys don't have much reason to know the inner workings of the LHC)

Drugs are illegal here in the States, and that means it's impossible to get them.

I find it silly how so many people were afraid that it would create a full Big Bang, an Earth-eating black hole or an uncontrolled resonance cascade. On the other hand, I do worry for the health of any red-haired scientists who are responsible for operating it during thunderstorms. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=yvZYWhiyM8Y
