"Critical Mass" Nuclear Assault

"God Particle" Solar Impulse

Peter Higgs, British Nobel Prize winning Physicist who's work in calculating and predicting the masses of sub-atomic particles garnered him a very unique honour in that the predicted particle-field that gives protons and neutrons mass out of quarks was named after him when he was still alive ... the Particle known as the "Higgs Boson" sometimes referred to as the "God Particle", which brings me to this.

Hey Lease, I gots a Science-y joke for ya ...

OOOO-Kay!

A Higgs Boson walks into a Catholic Church ... The Bishop says "Hey, You can't be in here!" But the Higgs says "Without Me, You Can't Have MASS!"

Rest In Particulate Peace Professor Higgs!

The Red Wings can weasel their way into the playoffs IF:

"The Juice is Loose" Dominant Factor

Orenthal James Simpson - more famously referred to as "OJ Simpson" or mononymously as "The Juice" passed away at his Las Vegas home earlier this morning from prostate cancer at the age of 76. OJ was a dual Hall of Fame inshrinee (College and Professional) winning the 1968 Heisman Trophy in his senior year at USC after rushing for 1800 yds then going on to the NFL and being the first to rush for 2000 yds in a single season (did it in a 14 game schedule), he still holds several NFL records.

After his playing career, Mr. Simpson went into acting in both movies - most famous for roles in "The Naked Gun" (Parodies of various Police shows like "Dragnet" and "1-Adam-12") and the sci-fi film "Capricorn One" (about a manned mission to Mars that gets secretly scrubbed at the last minute and faked in a movie studio) and TV ("Roots" and as himself for Hertz Rent-a-Car). And Sportscasting for ABC as an analyst/sideline reporter.

That all came to an end when in June of 1994 he was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and friend Ron Goldman in a highly publicized criminal trial which some called "The Trail of the Century" (Never heard of "Nuremberg" ...) of which he was acquitted (ie found NOT Guilty) of the charges after being represented by several High-profile Attorneys - though many people (yours truly included) felt that OJ was involved in the killings if not committed them outright. He was later found civilly liable in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the families of before-said victims.

This is a bare-bones synopsis. I don't feel like going into anymore detail.

"Prophet of the Last Eclipse" Luca Turilli

Me and Daddy journeyed down to Bowling Green State University to see the total eclipse!

Following up on the story over there. The Golden Grizzlies of Oakland (MI) University advanced in the NCAA Basketball tournament by upsetting perennial "powerhouse" Kentucky in the first round. Now the part, they lost in the second round in overtime to an "underachieving Cinder-fella" entrant North Carolina State. I didn't get the chance to watch THAT game cuz I was up in Flint helping my dad with my Grandpa's house and going to the Firebirds' game.
