SuperK Neutrino Detector Severely Damaged.

Posted by chrisd on from the travesties-in-big-science-land dept.

Eric Sharkey writes "The Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector, which announced the discovery of neutrino oscillation and mass in 1998 (covered by Slashdot at the time), has been severely damaged. The NY Times (free reg, blah blah) has an article here. Most of the phototubes have been destroyed. Repair estimates top $30M, leaving the world far less capable of observing the next supernova neutrino burst, should it arrive before repairs or a replacement could be completed." CD: I called the lead of the project and he was in the tank checking out the damage. The webpage for the Super-Kamiokande is here. There are pictures for you to peruse.

    I see all sorts of shit when I'm on Super K. Costs me a lot less than $30 million for the hospital visits to repair myself to.

    I'm cost-effective science! Suck it you Japs!

    THE OFFICIAL TACO-SNOTTING FAQ
    By The WIPO Troll

    What is "Taco-snotting?"

    "Taco-snotting" is a term used by one Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda owner of the popular technology website Slashdot to refer to the practice of sucking off a homosexual man (or unwilling heterosexual; CmdrTaco doesn't care) and blowing the semen back out his nose onto his pertner's (or victim's) face or body. Usually a long, bubbly stream of semen is left on CmdrTaco's face, dribbling out of his nose down his cheek: hence the term, "Taco-snotting."

    That's disgusting. Have you ever been Taco-Snotted?

    Unfortunately, yes. I first met CmdrTaco at an Open Source Convention. He invited me back to his room for a game of Quake, but when I got to there, he jumped me and tied me to his bed, stripping me. He performed his vile Taco-snotting ritual on me three times over the next two hours, sucking me to orgasm then snotting my own jizz back onto my face, in my mouth, then again on my belly.
    CmdrTaco invited several of his Open Source (or rather, "Open Sauce" -- man sauce) Convention buddies over to continue the snotfest. Linux Torvalds raped my ass with his "monolithic kernel," and Anal Cox used his "network stack" in a multitude of unspeakable ways on and in every orifice in my body.
    How did I finally escape? After about 16 hours of nonstop homosexual atrocities perpetrated against my helpless body, they all finally went to sleep. I was left there, covered in jizz-snot, chained to the bed, with fat, pasty white fags lying around and on top of me. Fortunately the spooge coating my entire body worked wonderfully as a lubricant; I was able to squirm my way out of the handcuffs and slip out the back door. I'm just glad I survived the ordeal. These geeks had a lot of built-up spunk in their wads -- I could've easily been drowned!

    Why am I always receiving emails from CmdrTaco asking me if I would allow him to Taco-snot me?

    I'm guessing you've received an email similar to the following:
    From: malda@slashdot.org
    To: wipotroll@hotmail.com
    Subject: Hey, baby - jion me in a taco-snott! :)

    CmdrTaco (malda@slashdot.org)
    You most likely forgot to uncheck the "Willing to Taco-snot" checkbox in your preferences. Whenever CmdrTaco gets bored (and who wouldn't, running a site like Slashdot all day), he roams through the Slashdot database, penis in hand, looking for people who might enjoy being Taco-snotted. And this time, he found you. Lucky you.
    CmdrTaco has probably already got the hots for your wad; there's no escaping a geek in heat, so it's probably too late... but you can possibly rectify this situation. To remove yourself from CmdrTaco's sites, log into your Slashdot account, go to your user page, click on Messages, and uncheck the box next to "Willing to Taco-snot."

    I can't stop receiving these emails from CmdrTaco!?

    Probably not. If you indulge him in a Taco-snot or two, he might leave you alone. You might also want to look into mail filtering, restraining orders, or purchasing a heavy, blunt object capable of warding off rampaging homosexual geeks in heat. Trust me, when they charge... oh, the humanity. If he gets you, and you let him Taco-snot you, he might end up tying you up in his basement and using you as his sex slave for the rest of your life (or until he accidentally drowns you in spunk while using you as his sex pony in a "circle-snot"). It very nearly happened to me.

    What is a "Circle-snot"?

    A "circle-snot" is a Taco-snotting circle-jerk: when CmdrTaco, CowboiKneel, and Homos get together and Taco-snot each other repeatedly with their gooey, hot, sticky cum, spooging all over each other's faces and pasty-white bodies until they're covered head to toe with man juice. Roblowme usually provides the extra lubricant; he owns a limo service and has ample supplies of motor oil and axle grease.
    To complete the perverted orgy, Michael, Timothy, and Jamie sometimes join in, dressed in black Gestapo uniforms, jack boots, and leather gloves. The whole group then proceeds to snot each other's spunk and whip each other's asses with riding crops and cattleprods until their pasty-white geek bodies are exhausted from all the passionate, homosexual revelry.

    Ew. Does Jon Katz get involved in this? I thought he was a paedophile, not a homosexual.

    Actually, Jon Katz a homosexual paedophile. He's also a coprophiliac, and, many suspect, a zoophile. Jon Katz is somewhat of a loner and doesn't involve himself in circle-snots. Mr. Katz usually engages in a game called "Katz juicy-douching" with his harem of little-boy slaves: a vile practice which involves administering an enema to himself of little-boy urine (forced out of them with a pair of pliers), spooging the vile muck from his ass back into the enema bag, then slathering the goo all over himself, and the little boy's chained-up and naked bodies. Unwilling boys are further tortured with the pliers until they comply and allow Mr. Katz to juicy-douche them for the rest of their lives.
    As I already said, Mr. Katz is also a zoophile. As if the sexual escapades with the helpless little boys aren't enough, Jon usually enjoys his juicy-douches best when his penis is firmly planted in a goat's anus. He is also rumoured to get off on watching his little boys eat the goat's small, bean-like turds.

    ...Are you getting hard writing this?

    Why, yes. :) Join me in a WIPO-snot? I promise I won't try and rape you or kidnap you and make you my sex slave or anything. I'm not like CmdrTaco or Mr. Katz; I only enjoy snotting on willing partners.

    What's that screaming I hear coming from your basement?

    Oh, that's just my little sister; I got her chained up down there. In fact, I just finished snotting all over her body. You should see her squirm when I spooge on her belly, lick it up, and snot it all over her face! She's such a feisty little 14 year-old bitch. Of course she's my sex slave, she's my sister. What else would she be good for? So, join me in a WIPO-snot?

    No, thanks. I'm already CmdrTaco's boi toi.
