No news for the Higgs boson so far. It will probably be a while, with the LHC having to start up again and then taking a few years to go up to full power. Fermilab could end up lucky and discover it in the meantime, though.

On the other hand, it would also be huge news if the LHC never observes the Higgs after years of operating at full power.

Maybe Carter really was a good Christian, and tried to kill his entire family because God told him to, with no angel to stop him at the last minute. (It's always "someone did something horrible despite being a good something", never "because someone was a good something".)

I'm also noticing duplicate comment entry forms ...

Sounds like burning down the house to put out a match. At least I think the sort of parents who send their children to religious schools would be likely to have more severe opinions about abortion than about sex. It's ironic how anti-sex and anti-abortion views are responsible for more abortions ...

Well, it's what they say ... ;)

(It's my own punnish way of hoping that we hear from the rover after it lands. :)

It's either far too obscure humor that I just can't get, or the person must indeed be smoking some very potent stuff.

While it would be great if France was targeting Scientology because it "targets vulnerable people in order to take money from them" (although the assertion that it's only because of this is dubious; I have no doubt that there are plenty of sincere Scientologists who just want to spread the word), I think it may be less about protecting people and more about protecting the interests of another religion-which-shall-not-be-named that also "targets vulnerable people in order to take money from them".

A father and son caught a fish together: I just had to think of another solution rather than the standard one. :) (OK, it might be a stretch ...)

(The grandfather solution was easy enough to think of: something similar was mentioned in the comments at Richard Wiseman's blog. :)

"You" are supposed to be the one doing the killing, why should "you" run away?

Thanks! Most of the work right now is just getting enough content so that there's at least some regular updates, although the amount of work will increase drastically if people start submitting lots of blog articles to include.

Thanks, I'll need the luck. :)
