Upsetment...

Two Blogs

Two blogs, two in a day. What do you say? How much can you pay?

What?
What?

Dag straight, hoss. You KNOW that's right!

Rack 'em up.

F'real. Shamon.

Spirograph

Spirograhs make insanely complex math look easy.

You go, spirograph. Rock on.

Friday Awesomeness - Particle Colliders and the Destruction of EARTH!

I've been reading lately about particle colliders (such as the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, AKA a "supercollider"). I am a nerd. The purpose of these thingamabobs is to fire atoms around a HUGE circular tube at near light-speed in opposite directions in hopes that they collide and recreate conditions near to the beginning of the universe. Some people have filed federal lawsuits against these colliders because they fear they will destroy the world by reproducing the conditions at the Big Bang, stating, "the LHC could accidentally create strange new particles that would instantly transform any matter they touched, engulfing the Earth, or, even worse, make a rapidly expanding black hole that could consume the entire planet."

Freakin-A.

I like the Earth. It's my home. It's also the only place I've ever lived. Probably the only place anybody has ever lived, unless you are a Zeta Reticulan. I'm not. I don't think we could really blow up the earth, though. The physics just aren't there. I don't know that we can harness enough power to do that. I would have to wonder why, if we can harness the power to destroy everything that ever existed everywhere by shooting some atoms around a tube, I am paying $4 a gallon for freaking gas? Gasoline:My Wallet. That's the real supercollider.

If destroying the earth has some practical application that benefits me, sign me up. If not, then don't.

I wanted this post to be awesomer, but it's Friday and I'm itching to go home.
