Thread: It is always darkest before dawn - for neutrinos?

It's a small world; I just picked up two packs of Newtons at Publics this past week, just in case FP&L could not get the power back on during Hurricane Issac.

Seriously, these guys need to be taken by the earlobe and hauled back into a first year statistics course. They've spent too many years studying marketing and finance.....

Well I'M glad somebody is studying it. I would hate to see the price of Newtons go up. Pretty soon they will match the price of Oreo's.

Well, you can keep your Newtons. At one time they contained real fruit and like the expanding universe were much larger too. Now they just be tiny, sugar filled,calorie busting, tasteless snacks. Kind of like someone took an atom of gold and converted it to an atom of helium.

Dang you, Spendur!!
Don't you break my heart!!

That is the way of just about everything these days, no matter how much you spend you usually get crap.

I don't know about that. We have a little biscuit (cookie?) called a Tim Tam here that, at least in my lifetime, has not changed one iota (apart maybe from price increases). Mind you, it is pretty much a chocolate coated calorie cake, but sometimes that is exactly what you need!

You fellas keep bashing my Newtons; I'm gonna open a new "Do You Tape or Do You Not Tape?" thread.

So sad. For a moment it looked as if there was a brave new world in physics.
I hope I'll live to see the day when we suddenly discover that what we knew was incomplete; that we'll be able to kickstart space exploration.
