When the Large Hadron Collider went live recently, I was all The Large Hadron WHAT?  Under the mountains where?  WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT COULD CREATE BLACK HOLES??!?!? 

Turns out, it's been in the works for more than ten years.  Guess I'm busted...I don't read scientific journals too often.  The thing is, I really enjoy layman's science, so I would have to say they've done a bad job of marketing, and because of that, now people are freaking out that the "end of the world is nigh". 

After showing my lack of science acumen in public, I vowed to get informed.  Then I fell asleep.  Don't judge - Google it.  It's really freakin' dry!  That's because scientists aren't marketers, and they don't necessary speak in terms that are accessible to the general populace.  This is something that could help us understand the beginning of life as we know it, and it's as dry as the Sahara. Then I found this:  Large Hadron Rap

It's Cliff Notes in rap form.  Do you think the State of the Union Address is next?
