Comments

  • Thank God (not the particle) that the super collider was built here instead of Waxahachie, Texas. The worldly, romantic, intriguing, link between Rome and Cern just wouldn't have been as appealing in "Angels & Demons" if it were in Waxahachie, TX (which is already a black hole of backwardness).
