WARNING: I AM A GEEK
Hey everyone! I downloaded a program yesterday that lets scientists use my computer when I'm not. Now, whenever my computer hasn't been used for two minutes, it starts
1) Scanning extraterrestial radio signals for messages from aliens and
2) Running particle collision simulations for the new Large Hadron Collider for CERN in Europe. They're building a new particle accelerator, and need to run billions of simulations to make sure the thing doesn't blow up.
Isn't that exciting? It's almost like having a job. And the folks at SETI (the Search for Extraterrestial Intelligence) have said that, if they ever do find signs of intelligent life, they'll know whose computer actually checked that particular file -- and that person's name will go with theirs on the application for the Nobel Prize.
Oh, and I saw a T-shirt yesterday I need to get. It said:
I AM NOT A GEEK
I'm a level 12 Paladin
