Tomorrow on The Breakfast Show, I’ll be bantering with Robby, Marieke and The Doctor about all manner of hot topics, including (but not restricted to):
- The death of God.
- The idiotic, bizarre and unfathomably awesome French legal system.
- More tales in the ongoing Hadron Collider saga. I hear the sequel isn’t as good.
- The announcement of Ghostbusters 3!
- How a women in the United States, a country undergoing a deep recession, is getting paid retarded amounts of cash to do a research paper on World of Warcraft, and how much we all hate her.
- The Corpus Clock, possibly the most evil timepiece since the first Big Ben, which I believe raped several members of parliament.
Remember to listen in! You can head over to the Triple J website and access the streaming player. I’ll be on some time after 7.30am, but if you miss it, you can always catch the podcast when it gets put up.

Watching 100 superconducting magnets quenching at the LHC must have been an awe-inspiring sight. The link shows a tiny magnet quench, with just a few litres of liquid helium; according to the BBC they lost a tonne of helium in Geneva (by my calculations thats 6 million litres of gas boiling off)

I don’t believe $100k is too much. Consider that the university will take it’s own cut. She will also most likely hire people to help with her research, pay for travel expenses for her and her lackeys between China and the US of A, food, residence and so on. I’m only speculating of course, but I’m willing to bet she walks away with about $30k after months of research, which (and I speculate again) would be on par with a university professor’s salary.
Damn speculation, would be so much easier if I knew everything.

It all depends on how seriously she takes it, I guess. If I were her, I’d relish the opportunity to go meet gold farmers in China, take a video camera, interview people, go and meet the developers at Blizzard, and meet a really interesting cross-section of gamers.
In short: I’m bleeding jealousy.
