[This is my Trail] Chinese Word of the Day

[Rachelle]

Ok, I'm not going to give you a word of the day every day (or even near every day), but since I haven't posted in a while, here you go:

强子对撞机 (qiang zi dui zhuang ji): Particle Accelerator/Collider (or whatever the official name of CERN's crazy new black hole causing machine is). So if anyone like to talk about nerdy science topics in Chinese, I'm apparently your girl. :) And if it does create a black hole, I for one think it would be pretty cool...for that .1 nanosecond before we're all spaghettified. Maybe the black hole would take us to Narnia, Middle Earth, or Platform 9 3/4?

If you'd like to read the Chinese Propaganda paper's article on the subject, click here. Ok, so "Chinese Propaganda Paper" is not the official name for the China Daily (China's English newspaper), but I just call it like I see it. I'm guessing that CCTV (Central Chinese Television) would also not appreciate that I generally call them "Commie Controlled TV" or "Crappy Chinese TV," but sometimes the truth hurts. CCTV also has an article about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

I promise I have more interesting posts related to the Olympics, etc. coming up soon, but I've been quite busy as of late. I will also returning to the land of the free and the home of college football, the land flowing with milk and cereal, etc. in two weeks (for a few weeks vacation/Kendi's wedding/college football games)!
