Avian Airforce Bread Bombs Large Hadron Collider - Quote from the scene: "Dough!"

Ok, so the giant machine with the giggle inducing name is offline again. Yeah, yeah, it would be news if it wasn't. This time, it was caused by a bird. No, really. A bird apparently dropped some bread onto a piece of equipment on the exterior of the ridiculously large science experiment, causing it to shut down. So, should we feel better or panic that some wayward wheat toast can make this thing shut down so easily? I'm still on the fence about it. Now if it were a coconut that fell on it, I would definitely be concerned, because everyone knows that European Swallows aren't migratory.

"We Are 10 Years Away From a Functional Artifical Human Brain"

Oh yes, this will go over well. An artificial human brain? Um, helloooo? Did any of the smart people out there who think this stuff up ever watch Terminator? Blade Runner? I, Robot? Or hell, Saturn III? (That right there folks is the first mention of Saturn III in 2009). I mean, yes I get the altruistic aspects of this idea, but seriously people, creating robotic intelligence is one thing, but messing with our own organic hard drives to make something artificial out of them? Did none of you watch Deep Blue Sea?? I for one would prefer to achieve immortality the old fashion way: by using a Sorcerer's Stone! ; )
