  2. I’m melting! I’m melting!

    As Penniless Rick says, “Just because you are the only one who notices doesn’t
    mean it isn’t happening.”

    I was a kid when the scientists weren’t really quite sure the first atomic explosion wouldn’t eat the universe. Ah, great physics, though. I wonder if I’ll survive a third one?

    Keeping in mind that am I nearly computer-helpless, tell me how to get a picture of Ben Franklin into the above square. Thanks. The one on the hundred dollar bill would serve nicely, but I haven’t seen one of those in quite a while.

  4. Poor Richard, go to gravatar.com, register with the email address you use when leaving comments, then upload the picture you want to use. The image will then show up when you comment on any site that uses gravatar.

  6. I don’t know about you, but Armagedon tired of hearing about the end of the world. Hey, the world’s going to end when I die, “I am become cranky, destroyer of y’all.

  7. I must confess that I initially misread “Large Hadron Collider” and had a mental image of tumescent gentlemen swordfighting with their endowments ….
    not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  13. No collisions and no black holes (permanent or not) could have formed because the beams were fired in only one direction.

  19. Actually, if you blow REALLY hard through the Large Hadron Collider it acts as a massive trumpet… uh oh…

  21. I think the media had a lot to blame with the idea that the LHC would cause blackhole etc. Instead of reporting the facts they reported what some idiot made up.

  22. JoJo, I was trying to show you my teriffic gravatar, but I think it got lost in a black hole. I hate to try again, lest I be accused of something.
