The problem with posting/blogging is that you folks on the other end can't see me laughing when I type some of this stuff. Then you make a point of quoting me out of context, deleting my conspiracy theory comment while leaving in the "cut a hole through the planet". I went out of my way to comment that I considered it a non-issue safety wise. I say my "non-scientific expectation", and you demand the number of protons and energy levels. If CERN can make jackass statements without providing any supporting data , then I should at least be able to make fun of them.

Why I made fun of burrowing: I have groundhogs in my backyard, my computer is next to the window. All I could think about was their mosquitos(which Prof. Cox again cited) and related it in my head to the groundhog's holes I can see from where I am typing right now. Unfortunately that image doesn't come across to the rest of you through the internet.
