    then cap me in the head!
    *****, *****, ***** the Creationists..."

    I heart MC Hawking

    "You know, I will evetually die no matter what and I believe that being consumed by a magnetic monopole or a tiny black hole is a very sexy way to die. If I remember at least some of my experience, I'll finally be able to tell something that the guys in the heaven haven't heard."

    "@Boltique
    Also, if you are religious, this is a great way to die because if you pray while the black hole consumes you, those prayers will be continously sent to heaven for all eternetity due to the spacetime distortion close to the event horizon."

    (NOT MY COMMENT)
  • cl2yp71c, on 09/07/2008, -0/+25Yup, and maybe his gooey particles might touch a female's gooey particles.
  • arcangelgabriel, on 09/07/2008, -0/+23FTA: "Some more academic people are not too happy and they think it kind of cheapens the science and dumbs it down," she says. "But I think mostly people are excited to have this rap out there. And a lot of people at CERN just think it's great, so that's exciting."

    Anything that gets people interested in Particle Physics is OK with me. It doesn't cheapen it, it makes it available to everyone, not some high brow stuffed shirt academic. And if it's available for everyone then far more will support it.

    'And by support they mean funding, no bucks, not Buck Rogers'. - Apologies to Tom Wolfe.

    Perhaps that'll interest more kids to enter the sciences so we can avoid Idiocracy and maybe just MAYBE we can start a generation who can name the periodic table, not just every crotch on MTV.

    what we need more of is SCIENCE!"
  • inactive, on 09/07/2008, -7/+26The only people who like this are already into retarded nerd culture, don't kid yourself into imagining inner-city youths getting excited
  • elliotys, on 09/07/2008, -7/+26I wanna know how they got Stephen Hawkings for their hype man. Flavor Flave needs to watch his ass.
  • ThunderXcat, on 09/07/2008, -4/+23I'm kind of hoping a mishap in the experiment creates the world's first generation of superheroes.
  • 0tis, on 09/07/2008, -1/+17Ah, Soulja Boy. Rap with a capital C.

  • iticu, on 09/07/2008, -0/+13What the hell's up with all the people thinking this will kill them on Youtube?

  • zerries, on 09/07/2008, -1/+12You're right, anyone who wants to know how this all came into existence, or find undiscovered things is clearly a nerd.
  • brentinkc, on 09/07/2008, -0/+11I think he means back to the mainstream so far as Americans are concerned, where it is a lower and lower priority day by day.

    BUT WE'VE GOT A ***** OF JESUS!

  • insanebrain, on 09/07/2008, -1/+11lets hope so.
  • Laminarcissus, on 09/07/2008, -1/+11I'm picturing an alien in his ship a safe distance from the LHC, with his spacetime shields up, feet up on the console, eating an apple, saying, "I really wouldn't press that button if I were you, I really wouldn't...whoops, they pressed it...." and crossing us off a list.
  • theorwells, on 09/07/2008, -4/+13If you're using the excellent Firefox add-on NO SCRIPT: click on the temporarily allow Bright Cove tab and you'll get the embedded video.

    Hardest rap song I've heard in a minute.
  • Napiertt, on 09/07/2008, -0/+7Get a life! It's just a piece of silliness!
  • bushxnyc, on 09/07/2008, -4/+11Now I don't mind so much if that experiment creates a black hole and destroys the planet.
  • canton7, on 09/07/2008, -0/+7You can't begrudge her two afternoons and time on the bus... Besides, they've already made sure it's not going to blow up. See you on wednesday!
