Big Science spends the money

Big Science sucks funds directly from the American politicians, and so it must be very, very sexy. Geology is a bit boring, unless you do something with the San Andreas Fault! Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!

People have this idea that the San Andreas is generating all these earthquakes, rather than just being the weakest crap rock in the area. I mean, once it lets go over and over again, it can't be very strong. So they are drilling deep into the fault to see the Harry Potter magic of the place!

So NASA says they'll put a man on Mars, geologists say they'll drill to the bottom of the San Andreas. I wish them all the best of luck, and sure wish I could dip into the megabucks! :)

I have a feeling these are the same guys that want to build the "Elevator to the Stars", and quite possibly the "Bridge to Nowhere", so eveything will probably cancel out.

40th googleplex floor... Lingerie, lotions, potions and notions...

It's where the Zennists always wanted to be!:

Yes, so many things have gone by the wayside of sexiness. Star wars, space elevator, fusion, bird flu.
