As we all know, the Skepchicks are all about boobs and nothing else. Typical chicks. Can’t think of anything else. And their boobs have commanded me to make one more request from my readers to consider donating some money to the senseless no-account purpose-free orgy that they will be hosting here in the Twin Cities here in July.
And if you think I’m being sarcastic, that’s funny. Because you’re only reading what I’m writing. Your not seeing what I’m thinking.
A while ago, I complained that the people running the LHC did not have their act together when it came to managing and disseminating information for the interested public. I took a little flack for that (see comments) but I was right. And I’m still right. We (the interested public) were just recently given a very nice overview of the potential for the next several months of research. Then, today, we find out that the LHC is fundamentally busted and will be shut down for a significant rebuild. And part of that news is that this has been the plan for a long time. But I guess they forgot. Or something.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on?
If you are old enough to have seen the original release of The Empire Strikes Back at the cinema in 1980, you almost certainly remember the extraordinary short film that preceded it.

Well, you could be dead, I suppose. But the American Family Association says that you can X-out your gayosity by starting a relationship with Jesus Christ. They don’t specify the nature of the new relationship you’d be having.
Anyway, Joe My God suggests that you Freep this poll.
One of my blog heros, the author of Urban Science Adventures! (TM), has been very bravely and openly discussing her thesis progress on line. Now, she is ready to defend her thesis, and it is going to be presented live on the internet. I direct you to her blog for details. This is going to be interesting.
This is a piece by Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN explaining what is happening over at LHC. A must read.
I’m a bit preoccupied with my recent injury and not blogging about much else, so I might as well update you on The Knee and all it entails. Warning: Self referential commentary and icky stuff below the fold. Friends, you already know much of this. People who don’t know me, you don’t want to read this. This is for the in between people. There will be no discussion of needles, because I’m done with the needles, so E.W., you’re cleared to proceed if you wish.

This is very interesting. Have a look at the PDF, I’d love your opinion.

A lot has been said lately about judgementalism and blame. Well…. I just think everybody has to watch this video before they buy their next goat:

It’s tomorrow, IIRC (same as my brother). Many happy returns, PZ.
