Black Hole Bomb

Apparently France has arrested a researcher at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), for possible links to al-Qaeda.

CERN, if you don’t pay attention to science, is where the Large Hadron Collider is kept. The LHC is this massive thing which seeks to recreate the conditions of the beginning of the universe i.e. the Big Bang. One of the knocks against the LHC is that it could potentially unleash a black hole on earth which would, yeah, suck all of us up.

In related news: last night I was watching a comic on TV and he referred to terrorists as “Ahmed McGuyver.”

    About Me

    I am the author of the prose work Children of Dust published in 2009 by HarperOne. It was called "compelling" by Washington Post and "a heavenly read" by Oprah's O Magazine which placed it on its Fall Reading List. It was also picked as one of New Statesman 2009 Books of the Year ("a funny and frightening narrative of life").
