A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

This is great in two possible ways and bad in one.

If he is from the future then this is fascinating and its totally sweet that time travel is possible. But then the whole “…prevent the LHC from destroying the world.” is a bit depressing.

I don’t put much merit in his warning however because of the nature of his warning.

"Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

So, world destruction by Kit-Kats for everyone. I fail to see the threat there.

Best Hot Sauce?

This guy is advocating the Navy SEALs Hot Sauce: This Hot Sauce Will Push You To The Limit

Me? I’m a big fan of Cholula. I blame my brother Elvis for this fault. I find it hard to eat pizza now without a dash (or splash) of cholula on it. …and in eggs…and over pasta with olive oil and parmesan cheese.

Cool free dive video.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” through the looking glass of “Fight Club”

2010-05-04T20:49:44.4611813-04:00

This is one of the coolest twists I’ve read about in awhile but what if Ferris and his girlfriend Sloane are merely the figments of Cameron’s imagination and the culmination of the movie is him breaking out of his psychosis by destroying his dad’s prized car.

Complete mindbender!

Makes me want to watch the movie again.

Go read about this and other supposed fan theories that make the film better over at Cracked [caution - bad language].

Amy Walker does 25 accents in 2 1/2 minutes.

Fascinating. Listen for the difference between the accent from Los Angeles and the accent from Seattle and then Toronto.

Read about the test here: Float 30 Test at Alpental

“The most difficult part about this procedure is operating in avalanche terrain while the threat of a real avalanche is high. Bottom line: high avalanche hazard = good testing conditions.”

Catch up on the Sounders 2010 Season

2010-04-09T21:46:15.5398845-04:00

With one win and one loss Seattle is off to a decent start for the 2010 MLS Season.

I thought the highlights actually showed a different story than the actual game play. The Philly game seemed to be dominated by the Union, better passing and ball control. The Sounders definitely put together some good attacks resulting in two goals. One of which was an amazing header by Montero after a cleared corner kick.

Seattle really should have won their second match against the Red Bulls. Much better passing, attacks and possession then their first match vs. Philly. Unfortunately they were unable to find the back of the net. Hopefully they can carry that style of play through the rest of the season though, I thought they did a really good job of controlling the pace of the match.

Next match is away vs. Real Salt Lake May 10th, then it’s home again to face the Kansas City Wizards on the 17th. Go Sounders!!!

How do you stop Lionel Messi?

2010-04-08T09:45:37.0162539-04:00

Messi scored 4 goals against Arsenal in the quarterfinals for the European Champions League. It was a stunning display of dominance that has brought on accolades comparing him to Maradona and Pele.

And he’s only 22.

The Offside has a great article of the 10 ways to stop him.
