It appears I submitted this while I was drunk... I have no recollection of it.

MMmmm. This also makes me happy. I was either going to go into cosmology or particle physics, both for the same reason. I chose particle physics, so seeing things like this always makes me feel something akin to regret. I am consoled by the fact that, had I chosen cosmology, the LHC would make me feel the same way right now.

So, yeah. Fucking gorgeous. Thanks, anyway, DeJaR.

and, sad it is that out of everything out there, nobody wants to vacation on our little wilderness planet

Dude, we're in BFE. Are you kidding? You wouldn't vacation here. I mean, in what, five billion years, I think, this will be prime real estate when Andromeda begins to collide with us. Come back then.
