My Prof Brian Cox crush booms ...

[blamebrampton]

Just watched his interview on Enough Rope: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/ Not sure if you'll be able to get all the video from the site, but the transcript should be there, and he is HILARIOUS. Particle jokes! George Harrison anecdotes!

If J and I ever break up, I'm applying for writer in residence at CERN.

And I know that someone out there will get my favourite joke:

Heisenberg is driving down a long, straight highway. It's a beautiful road, flat and smooth, and he's in a rental car, and he just can't help
putting his foot down a little on the accelerator. He's having fun, bugger the consequences.

And sure enough, after a few minutes, he hears a siren and sees flashing lights in his rear vision mirror. Cursing his bad luck, he pulls over and waits for the policeman to come to his window.

A big, burly figure appears and looks though the open window at him, shaking his head slowly. "Well, well, well," the policeman says. "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

"No," says Heisenberg, "but I know exactly where I am!"
