Antimatter, an elusive type of matter that's rare in the universe, has now been trapped for more than 16 minutes — an eternity in particle physics.
In fact, scientists who've been trapping antihydrogen atoms at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva say isolating the exotic particles has become so routine that they expect to soon begin experiments on this rare substance.

I need to study up on this. It would come in handy during those times in waiting rooms, or during church after a night with beer and bean burritos.

The concept of this still eludes me, and I’m a fan of this type of science.

Right. Impressive.
Let me know when they isolate “what women really want.”
I won’t hold my breath.

I think the universe might end before that’s captured. Might as well hope for an inter-galactic space elevator before that time.

Perhaps equal amounts of matter and anti-matter were not created during the big bang.
Or, some other event was the origin of the universe.
It does pose an interesting question...where did it all go, or did it ever exist?

Someone once suggested that women want “everything.” For that reason, I gave a woman everything. She simply shrugged, made a cute, dismissive, noise and said, “is that all?”.
She gave it all back to me.
I’m still trying to set Ireland back in it’s proper place.

It couldn't find a way to get "out" through the "in" door.
It was sort of "Planted" in place.

Let me know when they isolate “what women really want.” They've already succeeded in theory; it's just that they haven't got a container big enough to hold it all.

My neighbors wife's birthday is tomorrow. He said she is spoiled and wanted something that went from 0 to 200 fast, and didn't care what color is was. I suggested he get her a bathroom scale.

One of my least favorite Led Zep albums, but "In The Evening" is okay.
