Oh my, young Steve Blais, genius and /or madman, in gestation at McGill University in Montreal, explains string theory in his multiple-persona cantata "Bohemian Gravity," set to the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody:" [^].
Some 1.1 million people have now viewed waveform-and-particle Steve's latest bohemo-chorale lecture, topping the half-million+ who viewed his earlier smash-video "Rolling in the Higgs:" [^] billed as a cover of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele.
I thought "Adele" might be Steve's nickname for his home-made fast-neutron reactor, or a grieved-for ex-ladyfriend, but turns out she's a popular singer (fine set of lungs, too).
The future of physics is bright, I believe, even if I can't see it.

I was confused about them being Egyptian until I read the article. Did they find any pyramids yet?

So, the Egyptians introduced tea to Britain. It's amazing what you can learn in The Lounge.

We've been doing that a looooong time - there is a disease (Kuru[^], or Laughing Sickness) which you can only catch by eating infected brain matter. Can you imagine how long that tribe have been doing that for a disease to evolve to take advantage?

I've heard that eating baboons brain is considered a delicacy in some of the islands arond there (apparently the baboons have also been eating the offsprings brain etc.), so it shoudnt perhaps be suprising...
Perhaps people seems to think that everything thats natural (happening in the real world, or orignate form the real world) is wonderful while things that are constructed or manufactured in a lab is not good/awful (at least from some of the PR firms seems to think so). However Id say that a Car is much more holesome than for instance klamydia etc..

Judging by the multitude of spelling and orthographical errors, Kenneth must have eaten too many baboon brains

Was it WC Fields who said "I never drink water because of all the awful things fish do in it!"

It was: but he used the shorter, less KSS version, I believe!

The other day my wife dropped her phone and cracked the screen. She pretty much hated the phone, so I am not entirely sure it was an accident  . Unfortunately, she is 11 months into her 1 year contract, so I need to distract her for a month to get a better upgrade deal.
The solution was to dig out my old phone, but since the ribbon cable for the digitizer was damaged, the phone had a mind of its own when I put it in the drawer a year ago (one time it actually managed to call up one of my friends while I was looking on). Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy a new digitizer for $18 on eBay in case I needed the phone as an emergency replacement.
[Fast forward past the repair, but thanks go out to IFIXIT[^] for their article about the teardown of the phone. Dark thoughts go out to the elephant at HTC who decided slide-out "surround speakers" on a phone is a great design, making it extra difficult to replace the digitizer  ]
After replacing the digitizer and making sure everything worked, I tried to update it from Windows Phone 7.5 to 7.8, but I was not surprised when the update check claimed it was already up to date, so I Googled "Force Windows Phone 7.8 update" and found an article[^] (slow page load) to help me achieve that.
With the OS update completed, I checked the apps on it to make sure I was not forgetting anything before I did the Factory Reset and ended up spending some time going through a bunch of stuff. At the end of the ordeal, my eyes were strained and missing the display on my new phone. The old phone works, but I am glad I am not the one who has to use it for a month.

You can buy a new phone for €5, with €5 pre-paid credit (so that's almost the same as free). You wouldn't even be trapped in an other contract.

Where? I've never seen that kind of a deal here in the UK...
And that would probably mean a new number as well - SoMad's fix doesn't need that, and she can keep the old number with the new phone in a months time.
