Today was the day that the RSP (Really Smart People) attempted to circulate a particle beam through the entire Large Hadron Collider.

You can read more about it and see pictures at the links below. But basically there was a chance that this thing could create a black hole and destroy most if not all of this place we call the universe. That’s my kinda invention!

Later friends! Hopefully it won’t destroy us on October 21st!

Bet you’ll feel glad you stayed at your boring job and didn’t live your life to the fullest when you wake up the morning after you get sucked into a man-made black hole and become a single-celled amoeba which stores and digests food in your vacuoles huh???

There’s nothing like a potential black hole and destruction of our universe to get me thinking about what’s lacking in my life.

On the flight from Denver, a young couple sat next to me. A slim young girl and a big, burly, football player type guy. They looked to be high school aged.

The flight was about 2.5 hours and they didn’t bring anything to occupy themselves. I had Narendra‘s book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Kama Sutra. Life was good.

The guy eventually got his laptop out and played on that for a minute or two. Then he passed it to his ladyfriend and she started playing that lame pinball game that comes with Windows XP. She quickly got bored of that and started playing Solitaire.

She seemed like she didn’t know much about the game except how to play it. The guy had to tell her to double click on cards and they’ll pop up where the aces are.

After a few games, she was finally getting close to winning. All she had to do was click on all the cards and make them pop up to where the aces are. That’s when I decided to step in.

I told her that if she hits ALT and F4 at the same time, it’ll put all the cards up there and she won’t have to double click them. What it really does is closes solitaire completely similar to going to File > Exit.

After she did it, I couldn’t stop laughing!!!

Unfortunately, she didn’t get pissed. Her and the boyfriend laughed cheerfully.

I guess sometimes… Evil Is Good.
