5 Days till the End of the World
Thought I should mention this, as physicists all over are looking at this. You probably are already aware, but what the hell, just joined the blog, might as well post something.
On 10/09/2008, the LHC(Large Hadron Collider) will be switched on, and hell itself shall come to town.
The gigonormouhugetastic circular huge metal thing will accelerate charged particles to as close to the speed of light as is possible and smash them together, and particle physics should hit paydirt. The amount of physicists/chemists/theoriticians that have staked their entire reputations of the last 30-40 years on theories that have NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OR VALIDATION WHATSOEVER is actually quite stupid. Dark matter? PAH! Don't make Lorenzo laugh! "Em, we have this thing we can't quite account for in all our readings.....DARK MATTER.....yes...that aught to cover it....". BUT! Here they all are, awaiting verification of their life's work. And, yes, despite my views on their quite hazy, unscientific method of defining things, it looks like they might detect at least one or two new fundamental particles that'll help them out.
Here's a nice wee picture of a collision I pinched fae the LHC wiki.
Some (serious scientists, mind) predict this is, in fact, the first time machine built by man, and we'll get our first visitor from the future when it's switched on. See, ye cannae travel back without a machine having been built to recieve you, which is why we've had no one come and tell us how we're all getting on 100 years from now.
Others predict catastrophe, with the result being nothing less than the end of the world. The act of smashing these particles that really aren't supposed to touch(they actually repel each other) together with such force will rip a hole in space-time and we all go "bye-bye." Think the biggest explosivo you can imagine. Officially the LHC recent report says "nah" to this. But it's fun to conspiricize, so people still think the end is nigh. And if it makes us all act like we've only a few days left of life, then shit, let's pretend!
OK, so, I've warned ye all! Say yer byebyes and Iloveyous and pray to whatever gods you believe in. And if you wake up in yr beddies wae yer teddies on the 11th o' September, be grateful. Remember that you could be non-existent.
The facility has racked up a cost of $8.7 billion so far, and electricity alone will consume $30 million a year....so ah dont wan' tae hear any mair whingin aboot utility bills fae noo on!

TV detector vans
From the Guardian
Interesting. The common answer seems to be that they detect the frequency pitch that your television is emitting, so they can tell if you are watching the tele and even what channel. Tune out if you are sick of paying the tv tax for sub standard programming.
Reading more, many think it is address based (quite likely) or they don't exist (which is address based, no license on the database they pay you a visit, though we haven't had anyone thus far). The mystery continues...
