Aaaaarrgh
Don't let the nerds get drunk!!! It won't be the office photocopier they'll be fooling around with!
Sad news for fans of the exciting new sport of ultra-violent hadron billiards today, as international science alliance CERN shuts down the Large Hadron Collider - most powerful particle-punisher ever built - for the Christmas break this evening. Not everyone will be unhappy, though. Tinfoil-bonced apocalypse prophets, and more …
"So what we have here is a cold Titanic collider.
I vote we nickname the LHC " 'berg "!" ... Neoc Posted Thursday 17th December 2009 00:21 GMT
As an added Health and Safety precaution, Neoc, in cases where there are Crazy Valid Concerns of Sentient Being Portals and Colossal Machinery doing God Particle Physics Peculiarly, perhaps it should be nicknamed "NICEberg" too ........ for this is an existing parallel with similar DNA? .......... "NICE Systems is the leading provider of Insight from Interactions solutions and value-added services, powered by the convergence of advanced analytics of unstructured multimedia content and transactional data"
And it is as well to bear in mind, and especially so in these very strange and quirky quarky times, that even though a Machine is shut down, Boffinry never Stops or Sleeps.
1. Didn't John Carmack already predict the future of this one?
2. Since the Daily Fail and other tabloids (with help from the tossers in the government) have completely ruined the word 'Scientist' such that no one believe a word they say any more, perhaps the word Boffin which has friendly undertones can now be used exclusively to actually get sensible information to the general populous. El Reg, patent the word immediately.
