Remember the Swiss supercollider? We were building one up in North Texas and somebody cancelled the project but the EU stepped right up to the challenge of building a big hole in a big tunnel and speeding atoms through it as fast as the little fuckers can speed in the hopes of causing collisions and thus ending the world while the Euro is worth more than the dollar. Or something. Or Nothing. Remember, it's largely French. . Solving the problem of the origin of the universe; spending megaEuros on a stimulus project. Well, among the people doing this was a French guy, of course, who appears to be an al Queida terrorist, of course. Being of Algerian descent, of course. Like Camus. Except he's a Muslim, so he'd be more like the guy Camus' antihero in The Stranger wasted because it was Tuesday. Of course. Obviously, If he was a deconstructionist, it would have been too ironic...So, he must be a Sartian Maoist existentialist. Or something...ideologically speaking.
A French physicist with the European atomic research centre at Geneva was charged with terrorism offences by a Paris judge tonight after investigators alleged that he had offered to work with the north African wing of al-Qaeda. Adlene Hicheur, 32, who is of Algerian origin, was arrested last week with his younger brother after intelligence agents intercepted his alleged contacts on the internet with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
Oh well, we keep being disappointed by these people. Now, for a gratuitous New Jersey bad ass Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty cover...
