Today's subject is Titanium.
Lady Cranefly pointed me to this one (she's a science writer at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory).

Who knew science was so easy? And if it had a beat, you could dance to it?

Not as crotchety as we'd all prefer, but...

Sadly we are going to the BBC to get news about scientific break-throughs happening on our own shores. Meanwhile, local news is full of important Kardashian updates.

Headline: God particle cornered
Just what we need
a panicked, vicious God
foaming at the mouth
doing deals with the devil
for salvation.

Yeah, turns out it's been hiding in the back office with cold fusion and a perpetual motion machine.
Re: Science 101 - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 12-15-2011
Is it stored next to the unobtanium?

Lady Cranefly keeps score at the most miniscule of poker tables.

I thought the world was supposed to be sucked into a black hole once the Large Hadron collider fired up. What happened?
Re: Science 101 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 12-15-2011
The world *was* destroyed by a huge black hole.
Re: Science 101 - The Queen - 12-15-2011
Dr. Ivor Yeti Wrote:The world *was* destroyed by a huge black hole.
That would explain a lot.

International Space Station viewing - cranefly - 09-12-2013
There's two upcoming opportunities to see the International Space Station at greater than magnitude -3.
This is mostly for insomniacs.
Sept. 13, 6:21 am at magnitude -3.1
Sept. 14, 5:34 am at magnitude -3.2
On both occasions it will appear to the southwest and move overhead to disappear to the northeast.
Sorry for the late notice.
Special note to Greg: Sept. 13 is not available to you, but Sept. 14 will be good, though only -2.8 down there. That's still pretty bright.
