Precious Cargo

I passed this vehicle on my way to work today. As you can see, it is jam-packed with kids. This is not some Soccer Mom's SUV, it is a lightweight, coke-can style vehicle with (hold your breath) an 800 cc engine! Judging from all the metal refinishing, this guy sure is a very careful driver!

2007 Nobel Prize for Physics

And the Nobel Prize for physics goes to…

TA DA!!!

Two cutlets who invented the technology that makes hard drives smaller.

Wait a second…

Did I hear that right?

The Nobel Prize for physics goes to the guys who invented the technology that makes hard drives smaller for Mp3 players and the like? Oh yeah… now I know this world really has its priorities right- the greatest honour in physics goes to people who can ensure that you can wear a 300 GB Ipod up the arse without significant discomfort.

The last people who were given this award had done pioneering work to enhance our understanding of the universe and its origins.

With an Ipod on, a jogger cannot even hear the car coming up behind him that is going to run him down in 3 fucking seconds… forget about exploring the universe!
