    . . . I need a drink after reading that . . .

    Well, I always did maintain that reality is, at best, a questionable concept. ;)

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Hell, I already knew all of that - duh! rolleyes

    I also know that the easiest way to capture an elephant is to:

    Code:
    1. Put a sign on a milk bottle that spells out "Elefuntz."
    
    2. When an elephant happens by and starts laughing at the sign, you look at him the [B]wrong way[/B] through a pair of binoculars.
    
    3. Because the elephant is now very small you can pick him up with a pair of tweezers and put him in the milk bottle.
    Simple.

    What I need to figure out is how to put toothpaste back in the tube after you've used it...hmmm...

    You have to increase the pressure of the entire bathroom duh! Am I the only one with a pressurised bathroom?:-D

    Not a clue what they're talking about :confused But I like the pretty colours in the picture-

    Where's the kid from Murcury Rising when you need him?

    If, after doing this, you put some Mentos into the bottle does the elephant explode back to its original size? :-D

    Oh lord no! That would cause a spontaneous Elephuhedron and NOBODY wants THAT. Not after that last time. They are still picking up trunks and peanuts over that way . . .

    But it doesn't include gravity?:confused

    Still... this is really, really cool. Count down to Nobel prize starting in 3, 2, 1...!

    I've always leaned toward gravity being a positively charged, cumulative effect of electrons being stripped from their atoms at intense temperatures and pressures. But, nothing in physics is ever that simple. I'm going to go out on limb and say that bottom quarks probably create gravitational forces, but physics has yet to discover empirical proof of such.

    Heck, looking at the particle accelerator results over the years I doubt a "black hole" consists of any protons or neutrons. More likely heavier particles like the Xi-sub-b, or other heavy particles related to baryons with more than their fair share of bottom quarks.

    Only time and a whole lot of smashing will tell...
