Now people with a sense of humor can't have a reputation ? Anyway, I do have nothing about D0. And even if I did I would not share it, since I am told they have me in their crosshairs... Island, I think Jaco did not grumble when he said that. I think he has nothing personal against blogs (although his might well be a minority view in CDF). Cheers, T. Hi Kea,

“I don’t know if we pinned down nature, or if nature has pinned us down, but there are many corners you can’t get into anymore,” Dr. Lykken said.

It is a very common and pronounced symptom of cutting-edge crackpots to take semi-supported theoretical projections about the true nature of nature way too literally.

It's just like a (unusually well written) blog post, complete with jokes about string theorists and lots of references to blogs. It also makes clear that there is no reputable source for the DO rumour (sorry, Tommaso, but we all know you like a bit of fun, so we can't count you as reputable).

I enjoyed the piece about the Nielsen-Ninomya-Nonsense (NNN), as well as your slides. Hope you don't mind if I use some of them in a Freshman Seminar next year. That’s how I found you.
