Kaboom!

Voted up :)

Yeah, well. In the context of the film it was one of the funniest lines, especially since it was delivered completely deadpan. I won't spoil it for anyone by explaining that context.

But as an aside, sometimes a nice big unexpected kaboom motivates and advances knowledge like nothing else. I'm kind of disappointed that the LHC hasn't made a mini black hole (as long as Stephen Hawking is right) or melted a hole through the alps or something :)

Please don't ever work on something truly dangerous. ;)

Don't worry. I promise only to destroy the world if I didn't expect it to happen.

I was thinking more in terms of cooking your own food or something. ;)
