But can you really trust Swiss Time? It's that line in 'The Third Man' 500 years of brotherly love and all the Swiss gave us was the Cuckoo Clock (and a place to put the LHC)

Wow - the first three people on this post all have some form of Steve in their name. Now 4, because there is a Steven in my name as well (I just don't talk about it).
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
My Father in Law is a Steven, can I join the club vicariously?

I guess we (Steves) don't need much sleep...I have to get ready for work in a few hours :sigh: but this was right up there with the Apollo moon landing (which was also very early in the morning for me). I just couldn't get over the fact that we could watch live video on our computers from half way around the world - there was nothing on any of the cable channels :sigh: I would love to see the stats of the msnbc live video feed (which is where I was watching)

Which one is that? The only ones I could find on IMDB were couple of shorts from the US and an Italian film. :confused:

My best friend in high school was named Steve. I used to work on a project where the manager was named Steve. I have a friend who used to drive a new-model Mustang, which had a commercial featuring Steve McQueen (who drove a Mustang in the movie Bullitt). Does this count? :-D

Considering that's the total over the lifetime of the project, and the funding has come from many countries, it's pretty cheap. According to Brian Cox, the UK's yearly spend on the LHC is less than we spend on peanuts!

Science is great...this device has already conclusively proven that what goes around comes around and will soon be working on even more deep and meaningful stuff :-)

It will solve other problems... Do Ursine Mammals Defacate in Arboreal Areas? Does the Bishop of the Holy See Adorn himself in an Amusing Peice of Millinery? and Could we now go back to ignoring this big hole in the ground? :)
