Great use of time

Israeli scientists yesterday said they had created the world’s smallest Hebrew Bible, fitting the book on to a gold-coated silicon chip smaller than a pinhead.Scientists at Technion, Israel’s Institute of Technology, were able to pack the 308,428 words of what Christians refer to as the Old Testament on to a 0.5mm square of silicon by etching its surface with particle beams.”The Guinness Book of World Records has a Bible 50 times bigger,” said Ohad Zohar, who directed the project. He said he now wanted to take pictures of the nano-Bible and blow it up to a seven-by-seven metre poster, which will make it “possible to read the entire bible with the naked eye”.The tiny Bible was developed as part of an educational drive to increase interest in nanoscience among teenagers.
So it’s not just the Mormons or the Mussies. You want to increase interest in nanoscience among teenagers? Fuck the scriptures — what about this? Blow these up you fuckers!

Your native sense of what’s really important will carry on civilization in these dark times.

This is not suitable for that nano-shit. Strictly Braille stuff.
Also, I notice, silicon is mentioned in that quote. Fuck silicon!

FYI, Shiraz’s chief Himmler-impersonating troll has posted a link to this post, because remarking on the sex-obsession of teenagers is sexist or something.

Don’t forget us mid life crisis merchants too. Made my morning that did.

At long last, an appropriate response to the “flatter is better” declaration some time ago.
