  1. Don’t worry. No black holes today. They’re just shooting a singular particle beam today and not doing any colliding. Good thing, too. I’ll have plenty of time to get those recipes copied.

  2. We face the End of the World, again. *sigh* The big, scary blackholes in space are formed by stars collapsing and becoming very dense, we’re talking a lot of mass here, people. By definition, what forms in the collider can’t really be called a blackhole, and the person who used that analogy should be pelted with rotten tomatoes.

    You want to be careful what alien you chose to eat. In Phillip K. Dick’s “Beyond Lies the Wub” the captain of a spaceship becomes obsessed with eating an intelligent pig-like creature. Not to spoil it for anyone who wants to track it down to read it, let’s just say it gives new meaning to the phrase “you are what you eat”.
