There's a funny article on SatireWire with a light hearted view of the joys at the center of the atom. Better then a Crackerjack box.

  1. Then? by JacobO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know this is not exactly on topic but this is something I am really sick of... why write "then" when you mean "than"? Do you people really say "then" in that context? Or perhaps you really mean something was better, and _then_ became a Crackerjack box?

    Ok, rant over.

  2. Funny Article To Spawn New Researchers by totallygeek · · Score: 5, Interesting
    You know, this type of website can be extremely helpful in rebuilding interest in particle physics. I remember when in college (I was a physics major), we asked around why people choose to work in physics. The responses were usually based on something like cartoons, science fiction movies, etc. It was rarely that a person just wanted to get into it from some serious perspective. Making fun of the atom internals might get someone interested in wanting to learn what really is inside the atom.
