The large geek collider

Last Wednesday, as I drove to work through the unremarkable, damp British nothingness, I witnessed something awesome. Such wonder, that I had to stop my car in a muddy ditch to experience as fully as I could.

Radio 4 was broadcasting live from the Large Hadron Collider as it was turned on for the first time.

I'm no sports fan. Quite why people get so exited about ball kicking is beyond me. But the next time I have to feign excitement at a sporting event, I'm going to repeat the air punches and GET IN's that I did when the LHC test was successful.

Better than England beating Germany in the world cup by a mile.
