who knew? not that science nerds can do flash mobs, but all that stuff about superconductivity? very cool.

I don't understand. Is that the Higgs-Boson or not?

Great you guys, now flash mob yourselves over here to the lab, these thousand empty pipette tip boxes won't fill themselves.

A million lame flash mobs on the web and still there's not one involving the African Anteater Ritual.

The best part is the related videos. Somehow this synched with an ancient network of crystal pyramids that regulated the weather... among other craziness.

The republicans in Michigan have taken Flash Mobs off the endangered species list, we now have an open season that runs from the minute you get close to them until they have all run screaming from your display of firearms. We're not allowed to actually shot them, but we are allowed brandish weapons to scare them shitless!

This is the only republican legislation I've been able to get behind...

I looked in my science manual and it says there should be more boy electrons.

I forget.. flash mobs are terrorism, right?

I can only run an HTML 5 mob on my iPad.

I've been trying to decide if I could have had more typos in that comment I made...the answer is, evidently, no, I couldn't.

Oh wonderful, a mob of slightly overweight people with shirts that are slightly too small so that when they lift their arms to do awkward and ungraceful choreography we can see their ghostly white tummy skin and spare tire flab which has seen only the cold fluorescent light of the lab for too many years.

I thought this was fun and educational.
