Fun fact I discovered today: when running laps, I seem to actually become FASTER with each subsequent lap. My stats (I took 4 dashes today):

Lap 1: 12.01
Lap 2: 11.55
Lap 3: 9.85
Lap 4: 9.25
That looks like a roughly linear relation, but there's not enough data points. Clearly, you should attempt to run at least ten dashes next time. The more the better. :p
Agita, don't encourage Kuroi to violate causality.
Aww. Why not? :(
Because we want to test it in a controlled environment. For science.

Also because I want to be watching from the next universe over just in case.

Causality violations always cause problems. Always.

No interfering with the nature of causality.

A higgs boson could be considered to fall within the 'intangible' category of the no sale list.
Don't tell EBay.

Hey, ever wondered what the world's geography would look like if the polar ice caps melted?

I wonder if there would be a net gain of potentially arable land if it happened. I mean, suddenly some huge landmasses open up, and since things warm up, some of the colder climates would be better suited for farming as well.

To be precise, they've found something that seems to be a Higgs Boson.
They have found a Higgs-like particle with a mass of 125.3 ± 0.6 GeV , with a 4.9 sigma certainty, although some of the expected decays were not observed very clearly. Better?
