Collider Day

[poliphilo]

We've just bought a couple of daylight bulbs for the living room. This is all part of our multi-pronged strategy for beating the recession and making this winter a happy experience. It may be glooming outside, but inside it'll be as bright as May Day and we won't get SAD.

We've also invested in fleeces. Mine has little skull and crossbones all over it.

I understand the Large Hadron Collider has been switched on. This is probably the most important event of the 21st century thus far. I don't think we've been sucked into an alternate universe, but if we had, would we notice?

I don't think we've been sucked into an alternate universe, but if we had, would we notice?

Isn't that the premise of most of the Twilight Zone episodes or all of Philip Dick's novels?

If we are in an alternative universe but don't know it yet, what is the distinguishing characteristic of this new one?

* Macs crash more frequently than PCs?

Brussels sprouts taste good anyway- especially if you cook them with chestnuts.

Hey, maybe I've always been in that other universe....

Brussels sprouts taste good!

I am in an alternate universe!

Tho, I'll need to try the chestnuts idea.

Oh, yes! I, too, am in an alternate universe!

Come over, Tony! It's pretty here.

There's really nothing wrong with spouts, is there?

I don't have them often, but whenever I do I'm surprised to remember how much I like them.
