I’m taking a redeye to England tonight! I’ll be there for a day, then I’ll hop across the Channel to Geneva to begin The Great Large Hadron Collider Tour. Gia has some details on what we’ll be doing there, and with whom we’ll be doing it.
This will no doubt mess with my schedule (both internal and external), so I don’t know how much I’ll be able to blog over the next few days. But news keeps on a-coming, and I’ll try to stay on top of it. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves. Watch my Hulu videos. Add yourself as a friend of mine on MySpace or Facebook. Or just go outside and enjoy things.

Bring back some magnetic monopoles!

Holy shizznits, I bet that visiting the Large Hadron Collider will be a really exciting experience.

Holy shizznits, I bet that visiting the Large Hadron Collider will be a really exciting experience.
And there’s still people in Argentina that says that it will cause wreak havoc. Ah, well. Wait until they see Apophis!
Don’t forget to bring a strangelet or two.

Ah, Double post. I’m sorry.
Aww, Jim got the joke first.

So you’ll be flying across the Atlantic? Let us know if you encounter any wayward asteroids forced out of their orbits by satellites.

Just do not press the button that says “create blackhole”.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
I don’t know why you’d go to Europe, Phil. You obviously hate _everything_ outside of America because you had Hulu host your videos
April 16th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Don’t drop anything on Pittsburgh as you fly over.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Enjoy London, Phil. Remmeber that the London Eye is really a secret antenna by which the Nestene Consciousness controls the Autons…

Hulu definitely makes Canadians sad. =(
Anyway, I wish I could visit the LHC, and CERN, myself. So much awesome in one place! =)
April 16th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Yeah, and don’t forget to check on your Hulu videos while you’re off to England. They’re a bit more, like, static from there though, but you’ll get used to it.

BA, while you are out of the US, have a look at your videos in Hulu and see how much more enjoyable they are! >:->
(Hulu fails in my mind.)

If you smell Hawking radiation, run! From what I hear, it smells like a combination of vinegar and puppies.

Hawking Radiation smells like vinegar and puppies?
I thought that was what all English cooking smells like.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Phil, while you are at CERN, could you pick me up one of those Higgs bosons?
Preferably on a key chain.
Thanks. I’ll reimburse.

I’d like my Hadron’s toasted please.

Enjoy the mach .08 trip across the Atlantic. I do it all the time, but a tas slower…averaging 18mph! However, I don’t have to sweat jet-lag!

Safe travels! Next time, can I carry your bags?
April 17th, 2008 at 5:26 am
This thread just caused me to laugh too loud in the office
I really wanted to come and see Phil and Randi tonight, but I just can’t afford the time or the train fare, unfortunately. Please say you’ll come and visit again Phil!!

Vinegar and puppies? That’s what I’m told I smell like. With a hint of Klingon lavender of course.
While over here you absolutely must try the famous echo in the British Museum Reading Room!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Enjoy your time in England, Dr. BA!
April 17th, 2008 at 10:15 am
We’d like to Hulu here in Namibia (that’s in Africa) but are being deprived, again.
Is there a workaround?
April 17th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I was in England last weekend. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
April 17th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Geneva? You lucky dog!
Be sure to have a raclette while you’re there.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:33 am
I’m sure you’ll have a smashing good time.
