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.

  2. 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 ..."

    No style these days.

  4. Ah, 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'.
    That'll shock 'em!
