Wot Greg said. The rest of the article is a scintillating morass of wonderment, went well with coffee cake.

Paris - cos its Wednesday

Great read there Mr Page, you brightened up an otherwise dull day, thanks.

The believe they have jurisdiction over the entire world!

If the "boson botherers" (great phrase, by the way) do manage to turn us all into strangelet soup, Hawaii is going to be about as far away as it can be from there, so will therefore be the one of the last places standing.

So at least they'll be able to point at the incoming cloud of particulate goo from all directions saying "I told you so!"

This must be pretty close to the most blogged-about science subject on Earth.

Good read, though. Is it just me, or has El Reg picked up its game recently?

...then look on the bright side. At least the French will go first.

Maybe we should start instigating lawsuits in the European courts against The Voting Population of The United States, for foisting a disastrous fuckwit like George W Bush onto us all?!!

Beak bins botanist's bid to bust boson-botherering-boffins

Fixed it for you :)

What drugs were you on when you wrote that, because I would like you to share them with me.

Written like a Viz and New Scientist head on collision, well done sir.

Wrong Icon...

... and the LHC is exciting my particles. Where's Sarah when you need her?

Someone has been reading too much David Brin.

Nothing wrong with using boffins, but try to expand your vocab a little bit. If only so we do not get bored.

...the tosser that started all this black-hole nonsense? Its a pity there is no law against being a fuckwit - he'd be bang to rights. In the mean time could some one give him a slap if they're passing, thanks.

Paris, 'cos even shes got more sense.

I'm half surprised they didn't sue to try to prevent incursion from the plane of Xen, or the risk of having Yob-Soddof turning up and devouring our souls...

Black Helicoptors or Black Mesa?

did you survive in the armed forces?

His web site does not have a running tally of donations received to date. Would've been good for another laugh I'm sure.

However the process of being pulled to bits by runaway tidal forces before being further compressed into superdense incrediblo-paste and squirted through a network of unfeasibly tiny and possibly nonexistent nano wormtunnels would probably be a traumatic one

Holy hell! the sun has nothing on you guys!

(other than the paparazzi shots of the last El-reg party) ;-)

Would that then mean that normal matter would be considered strange?

Ok, ok, i'm going =)

Paris; and you know why.

Does my bum look big in this black hole?

This sort of tomfoollery would have made him the life and soul of any Wardroom at least until the more senior Officers told him to STFU in no uncertain terms,like stuffing his head down the "heads".Brilliant subtitle though.

An absolutely fantastic piece of writing. Well done. :o)

the article was darned good too.
