I just got sent this.  I… think it’s real.  Michael Winslow is That Guy from Police Academy, after all.

And if it is: you know, I just may have wasted my life by not learning how to do that.

You know what the most exciting statement in science is?

“Huh.  That’s weird.”

Scientists at the world’s largest physics lab said Thursday they have clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light. That’s something that according to Einstein’s 1905 special theory of relativity – the famous E (equals) mc2 equation – just doesn’t happen.

“The feeling that most people have is this can’t be right, this can’t be real,” said James Gillies, a spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, outside the Swiss city of Geneva.

Hot Air Headlines (via AoSHQ Headlines) said it best: “Dude?”

Dude.  Although you shouldn’t get your hopes up.

Trust me, you’ll get it if you watch for long enough.  You want to let it tell its story in its own time*.

My only problem with pointing out Top Gear 10: The Complete Season 10 is that I can’t quite believe that the other episodes can measure up to that clip, which is made up of crystalline awesome suspended in an energetic liquid-dude solution. Really, the only way that they could have improved it was to have a cameo by Iron Man.
