Do Strangelets Pass Through Earth?

Weirdolet writes: "Ananova are reporting that ultra-dense, pollen sized strangelets (aka nuggets of strange quarks) travelling at 900,000 miles per hour hit the earth, violently pass through it and have done on at least two occasions already. It's also reported, allegedly, in the Sunday telegraph but I haven't found it there yet :P Coming to a particle accelerator near you soon ... ?" Another reader has found the story at the Telegraph.

    Offtopic? If the person standing next to you were to suddenly vaporize, a bath would definitely be in order. Is it my fault that a trigger happy moderator is too stupid to understand what a comment means? Stupid people given the ability to censor others. What a concept. What comments survive in an environment like this? Just the ones that can penetrate the thick skulls of the majority? Kind of reminds me of a qupte from the movie Amedeus, where it was said the stupid elite of Europe required a grand finale at the end of a symphony, so they would know when to applaud.

    Yeah, let's leave a completely off-topic Microsoft-bashing troll at 1 while modding anything that barely hints at problems with Linux at -1 immediately. This, friends, is pro-Linux slashdot zealotry at its best. That's why people are finding new places to go - they're sick of this kind of bullshit.

    I find it odd that the same people who get up in arms about comments that honestly address real problems with Linux are the first to mindlessly bash the fuck out of Microsoft's products. Hypocrites.
