On the Dullness of Scientists
Scientists - they're so, so.... dull. The Royal Society of Chemistry ran a context to rename the Large Hadron Collider. The winner was Halo. Even Wired was struck dumb by the monumental dullness of this and has started its own contest. I expect the winner will be Zak. As far as I am concerned, it is Stuart and that's that.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Damn computer games geeks get everywhere...

I suggest calling it the Small Hadron Collider - as in "No, no, nothing special. Just something we knocked together out of some old bits we had lying around ..."
ReplyDeleteNo style these days.

ReplyDeleteAh, bless 'em! It's HAL isn't it? - and is it thus going to speak, sometime in the future when it becomes sentient: 'HELLO, I'M HALO. I BRING YOU LOVE'.
ReplyDeleteThat'll shock 'em!
