Question For Everyone...
This is annoying me a bit, so wondering if anyone can help?

Not quite sure how to put this, so i'll just give examples.

Singular Plural
Alumnus Alumni
Octopus Octopi
Platypus Platypi
Hippopotamus Hippopotami

My point is that the singular to these nouns ends in -us, but the plural ends in -i.

My question is thus, when referring to computers, is it Viruses, or Virii?

Destroying an American
the talk of cocktails has reminded me of an incident.

the sister of a good friend of mine had a boyfriend who was (I believe) a Texan. A large one. who could drink (by American standards)

they came out with my mates and I for a night on the town and a number of drinks were consumed.

We repaired to my mate's house for more drinking and playing cards. Drinking JD and playing a game called Fuck the dealer that was introduced to us by the Texan.

The aim of the game was to guess what card he had plucked from the deck in two tries. If you get it wrong, you drink, if you get it right, the dealer drinks. Through a combination of booze and seeming psychic ability we made the Texan drink quite a lot of JD.

The rest of us had probably all had the same + joints, but he had to neck his.

He stumbled to bed at about 3am.

We were woken at 11am by shouts of "Fuck!" as he was so drunk he had failed to get up and leave in time to get his plane back to America.

How we laughed

You know
those things that ghetto people do where they insult each other in rhyme and then do funny poses? Would it be funny if they just did really childish rhymes, like..."you can't rhyme as well as me, my rhymes will make you do a wee!".

I genuinely can't decide.

Large Hadron Collider - A Question
This is probably a geek-central type question, for which I make precisely NO apologies. A bit of background first:

I'd love to think that the good people at CERN were switched-on (no pun intended) to realise that they'd get huge amounts of publicity from the first beam around LHC during "silly season" but I doubt it.

For one of the first times in a long-time (and I've no shame in admitting this) I'd a small tear of joy yesterday.

I'm nothing to do with CERN professionally, I've only visited it a few times when seeing friends who work(ed) there, but ANYTHING that can excite the non-scientific (in even the most abstract fashion) community MUST be a good thing.

My ideal? Physics and mathematics departments of universities across the land see a massive increase in applications next year.

So - here's the question:

How many Wolf prizes, Dirac medals and Nobel prizes do we think LHC will be used to generate?

My first "fantasy Nobel nominee" would be Dr Higgs and hopefully sooner rather than later (he's 79, and he's already got the Wolf and Dirac).
