Al Boulley:

Well then, this obviously means that black holes are real! Of course - when A causes B, and D seems like B, the C that caused D must be like A! Wow... pseudoscience has just met its match. Lookie here Fellers, it's an "artificial" black hole. (as if the concept weren't artificial enough!)

Michal Stanek:

Interesting, looks like the optic fibres have come a long way (as well as the holey fibres and whatever else). Still, I'll be interested to see the results that the Large Hadron Collider manages to produce - after all, all that money has gotta wield some results.
