1) You make it sound like CERN set out to break the speed of light; whereas this was just something that was discovered in an experiment.

2) It was a 60 nanosecond difference, not a 60 millisecond difference; you're a million times out here.

3) It wasn't some kind of stunt to secure funding; CERN (IMHO) more than justifies its existence.

4) Calm down, no CAPS LOCK required.
