Turns out Albert was probably right.

Shouldn't you be getting ready for work? Slacker.

I've been at work since 7 am. Early bird gets the worm.

According to some posters here you'll have a good day because there was a riot at a Foot Locker and that somehow means the economy is awesome. Expect an announcement from Bernanke any moment.

The connection thing is funny. I'm sure it's not as bad as it sounds but still one of those things you might want to double check. Just goes to show that even Sheldon can have a bad day.

In fairness, it is not like there are three cables. There are miles of cables. I do see your point.

Fermi will get all of this straightened out. FermiLab does not hire a bunch of hacks like some of the other labs.

Kids do like those shoes. And what with the slave labor, the profit margin is pretty sweet.

I've always said that child slave labor is the key to any successful business.

Now tell everyone about the mutated buffalo.

Magic Johnson (the basketball player, not my wiener) owns a shopping center just North of DC. It used to be the Cap Center, where the old Bullets played prior to changing their name to the Wizards and moving into the District.

Anywho, there is a shoe store there and the kids have been camping out since Monday for a chance to pay 200 bucks for a pair of sneakers that go on sale today.

Of course, the smart kids will just show up with a gun right after the first few come out of the store wearing the new shoes.

Just because a research lab just happens to have a herd of buffalo outside that just happen to glow in the dark and have three heads doesn't mean they're mutating them.

Gotta make sure you rob someone with the same shoe size. It's tricky.

60 billionths of a second faster?

is that even worth measuring? i dunno. *shakes head* boys and their toys. oops, sorry, scientists and their 'equipment'.

Are you kidding? That's a long time.

If your computer has a clock that's running at 2.5 GHz, as an example, that's one cycle every 0.4 billionths of a second. That's enough time for light, or an electrical impulse, to travel about five inches.

In 60 billionths of a second, light can travel about 60 feet.

What might have been the biggest physics story of the past century may instead be down to a faulty connection.

In September 2011, the Opera experiment reported it had seen particles called neutrinos evidently travelling faster than the speed of light.

The team has now found two problems that may have affected their test in opposing ways: one in its timing gear and one in an optical fibre connection

Interesting...but I want to know where the coverup e-mails are....

The stories flying about from scientifically illiterate morons about the Fermi buffalo always cracked me up. "They have them there because buffalo are particularly susceptible to radiation!"
