It's definitely different.:rolleyes:
Many years ago, had troubles with a job at Innaminka. Didn't want to talk to Adelaide about it on the RFDS radio, so drove to Moomba in pouring rain - all I could see were the edges of the table drains. Got there & walked into the rec. hall, and there were blokes in bandages, blood everywhere, thought there must have been the mother of all blues. Turned out that four blokes were sitting next to a caravan playing cards, & another bloke inside, when a sudden storm hit (it had hit Innaminka too) and blew the van over on them.:oo:

Knew a bloke who had worked there, apparently when the boys got a bit bored, they'd have watch-throwing contest. Throw your watch against a wall, winner is the bloke whose watch keeps going the longest.

LHC has an awesome continuous data generation rate of 1 Gb/s. This will be dwarfed by the SKA radio telescope, ~10 Tb/s for 50 years! and could even be located in WA if our loony state and fed govts ever get their acts together or it will go to South Africa.

this thing sounds cool:cool::2tsup:. but the best thing about it is; if anything new comes out of it - i wont have to learn about it cos it wont be confirmed and in the syllabus till after i'm finished yr 12 :D

Am I dead yet?

I'd really like to know whether I can start telling these monkeys on my back: "Sorry. Not my problem."

:rolleyes:

So how much carbon does this thing get to the gallon?

Sounds like a bit of a globe warmer to me

Doesn't sound like it runs on a couple of AA Evereadys

I thought these days warming the globe was a big deal?

.

They say that they might be able to prove the string theory and therefore the existence of parallel universes; wonder what I have been getting up to in these parallel universes? :? If I run into my self in a parallel universe will I disappear up my own black hole??:o:o:doh:

I wish I'd had more notice, I'd have arranged to work from home today.

I really don't relish facing the end of the world on a bus full of people I don't really know. Much rather do it at home with a glass of red in my hand and my wife sitting beside me.

Oh well maybe I can arrange to leave an hour early. The boss should understand. After all, the world doesn't end every day...

So you think you suddenly stop learning at the end of year 12......???? Youre in for a big surprise.

Im 50 and still learning new things...

little sub atomic particles have been colliding for eons since the big bang started the whole shebang. whats the diff if some propeler head causes and measures a few of his own ? my point is that nature has been doing what these blokes wanna do forever so dont worry about it....

a black hole being caused by these guys is about as likely as an iron (FE) fueled star...

And the faster you go, the heavier you get.


....and that probably explain why my wife's ar$$ is getting so big.

Even if by some remote chance they manage to create a mini blackhole the thing is going to be miniscule and wont last more than a second or two.

If people want to get worried about exposure to subatomic particles then dont jump on a passenger jet or stop using your television.

No, the hurrier I go, the behinder I get.:rolleyes:

Guess what? I am still here or has the shift been into a parallel universe happened and I missed it?

A movie springs to mind, "Seven monkeys", wasn't a movie based on fact was it? :D
