How to Get Rid of a Body

A dead body. A corpse.
Now, I don’t know which is creepier: someone asking how to get rid a body (who also denies he had or plans to kill someone) without it being traceable to you or somebody (the user scarabic) responding in great detail on how to do so.
The thread’s dated (circa 2004) but the [...]

Large Hadron Collider Activated, Earth Still Safe from Black Holes

Yup. That big-ass particle accelerator in the Swiss-French border was turned on earlier. And against what all the doomsayers say, there’s no black hole in the Earth’s place.
At the very least, Switzerland and France are still on the globe.
Well, considering the test for today only consisted of sending a beam in one direction. They plan [...]

Subatomic Particles Plush Toys

While the CERN physicists are prepping to look for the Higgs Boson and dark matter and energy, somebody came up with the cute idea of creating plush toys. Of subatomic/theoretical particles.

Yes, uh, cute. Really cute.

Ghosts and Particle Accelerator Disasters

Since people were speculating that the large hadron collider would open black holes that could destroy the earth, I remembered reading about a particular graphic novel.
Para is a graphic novel about someone investigating an abandoned super collider and encountering paranormal activity in the site. Well, that’s not really the premise of the graphic novel but [...]

Clear your Congested Nose by Jacking Off

Yes, at the risk of sounding like a crass, sex-comedy/’teen’ movie produced during the 80’s, some medical guy actually posited just that. If you’re a dude, to decongest your stuffed nose, masturbate.
WHAT?!?

This lady explains it better-maybe [...]

Inventor of the Emoticon

Professor Scott E. Fahlman, Carnegie Mellon University.
He posted the following entry in the computer science department electronic bulletin board in response to people who bitch about people not getting their jokes or smart-ass posters who use sarcasm:

LHC Damage Delays End of the World For At least Two Months

We shouldn’t expect the end of the world yet because the LHC is being taken offline for repairs.
According to reports, electrical problems stopped some of the magnets from superconducting. Particle accelerators use superconducting magnets to make particles to be smashed go really, really fast (hence the name). And superconductivity can only be achieved in really [...]
