Some Interesting Links

Things have been a bit slow here so I thought I'd share some of the reading I've been doing. The first is a link that has an interesting article on people who are more hell-bent on creating a black hole than those operating the LHC. You can read about these fission nuts on Gizmodo.

Also, Gizmodo had an interesting article on the deepwater failsafe that BP's oil rig had in place (that, if you have been living in a cave, didn't work so much).

UPDATE: Corrected second link. Thanks Anonymous.
