Whoopee fucking doo! CERN finally get to fire up their huge hardon collider, errr sorry I meant hadron.



Heralded as the greatest scientific experiment ever undertaken, the collider will crank up very soon and smash some subatomic particles together in a vain attempt to find more particles that don't really exist.

There is one interesting aspect of this pointless 9 billion dollar wank, however. The parrots of the Scientific community now appear to be singing a slightly different tune compared to the one of recent years.

More than once I have heard this described as 'revolutionary' and 'game-changing' even as 'a discovery machine' by Science commentators. They are even criticising the Standard Model describing it as a monstrosity, where the hell is all that Dark Matter anyway?

Could it be that this extremely well publicised event will indeed herald a remarkable discovery?

A one that has absolutely nothing to do with Higgs Bosons, Hadrons and other subatomic vagaries?

Pass the popcorn.


Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
