Good evening all. Trivia night tonight, had quite a bit of fun (and we took 3rd place).

First, I'm going to admit that I've been kind of depressed lately. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for being a dick. Dr. Phil time later, now time for really damn cool stuff I wish I understood:

I found this cool article over on Slashdot. Evidently scientists have been able to make beryllium atoms spin both clock-wise and counterclock-wise at the same time! The cool thing is is that it follows the "force at a distant" concept, where if you have a string of beryllium atoms in this logically impossible state, and one 'realizes' that its in an untenable situation and collapses into spinning either clock-wise or counterclock-wise, then all the rest of the atoms will follow, as well. This has implications that rock back to Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment...but please visit http://slashdot.org to find out more. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a geek. I'm also afraid that the previous paragraph makes no sense to me, and would it would be great if someone could explain how that is actually possible.

Thirdly, Yankees suck, though you probably saw that one coming.

In other news, I'm going to read a bit more tonight, as well as drink plenty of water. And watch TV. And maybe throw a little sleep in there, as well. You know, keep the body guessing. Either way I need to get out on the road and run tomorrow. Heh. I'm baked like a potato...time for bed.

In other words, good night, and I'm far too tiered to make anymore sence at thi spoint in time. *
