Comments

Allow me to indulge in what may be intense irony:

Comments below YouTube videos and CNN.com can provide some of the most astonishing insights into peoples' minds. And not usually in a good way. Consider these comments below a result CNN article on the Lawrence Livermore nuclear fusion lab:

- Why do "scientists" insist on trying to find new ways to destroy the world?
- I thought fusion was drink and fission was something you did with a pole and bait down at the creek.
- YAY!!!! a new place to cook my meat loaf! cmon guys, its called common sense.
- Didn't these guys watch Spiderman I. Dr. Octopus did the very same thing and it didn't work out so well for him...Do these guys really think that Spiderman will save them when this thing causes the end of the world...when will it be done again...oh yeah, end of 2012 when the Mayan Calnder ends!!!
- What a waste of time. You can't create a star without an immense amount of mass.
- We could use your mom. Gravity problem solved!

The list goes on. Simultaneously funny, sad, and aggravating. Mostly sad.
