Cheers, Otter. Advances like this are the incremental steps that take us towards the point described by Arthur C Clarke, where technology is sufficiently advanced that it appears to be magic:

PEACH TREES here we come!

So they finally found the Higgs Boson. Apparently it was down the back of the CERN sofa all along, though several boffins maintain they already looked there.

Funniest aspect of this was that the press release was apparently written in Comic Sans - I can hear Jim Campbell spontaneously combusting as I type!

When you land on Mars, your first view will probably be like this:

What a shower of muons.

... because it scares Radio Four listeners so much that any science show they do has to invite prominent figures from the arts on to reassure listeners it won't get too science-y. This week's Infinite Monkey Cage features comic behemoth Anal Moore, fearfully discussing symmetry, serial killers, and why he spends his evenings poring over a copy of The Gates Of Janus with a mirror.

Where is the Vagitexture™ grip module? This is typical of big business. Give you one piece and then make you wait for the next critical component. I think I'll wait to order this one.

Could this be the end of the Age of Steam?  Are devotees of the Gauntlet to be reduced to regional museums and overpriced annual outings?

[SmallBlueThing]

Don't worry. This mission was funded by the scientists collecting and returning pop bottles, plastic containers, and old newspapers found up and down the Florida coasts. Thank god for careless tourists throwing away their refundable items.

Be assured no bankers were harmed in the completion of this mission.
