And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The book review section in Sunday's paper had several review of sciencey books in a group. The title? "What goes in the black hole stays in the black hole"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

when is the black hole scheduled?

According to what I read, the first experiment that has the risk of creating black holes is scheduled to the beginning of 2009. This is just a test run.

And now I remembered I still didn't read "Black Hole". I have to give it a priority, considering.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

According to CNN, they've already kicked it off. Immediate destruction doesn't seem to be on the agenda, but who knows - maybe we'll get pulled into a black hole REALLLLLY SLOWWWWWWLLLLY.
