Actually existing news

The Cern Hadron Collider is coming back online (at half power) after a year of repairs. It is an exciting prospect. Having now read a little about fizzics 'n' maffs it strikes me the attempts to reconcile General Relativity and Quantum Theory border on theological speculation, very frustrating stuff.

The PC Brains award goes to members of Devon and Cornwall police who, to illustrate the dangers of unsecured homes... burgled several student homes, leaving people's possessions outside in swag bags with little notes of advice. The police claim:

"Everyone the officers spoke to was very grateful for the advice they received, and we have not received a single complaint from the householders".

If that's the case students are even bigger morons than I suspected.

Also in the news, Alan Johnson is rushing through legislation to ban alcohol, which led to over 9,000 deaths last year... sorry, my mistake, I meant mephedrone. Such is life. Hey, let's have a ban on war, that's a bit deadly too.
