What makes me hard

I don't know.  Nobody does.  Maybe in a month they will.  That's when they REALLY do it.

That giant ring deep under France and Switzerland is going to shoot super tiny particles in the ring and smash them up even smaller.  Maybe whole new things will show up.

Maybe that will help them to find out what tables and chairs and bricks and elbows are REALLY made out of, and why object like that are solid to our touch.  It IS odd that anything feels solid since most everything is made out of empty space (that we now know of - but we don't know much.  Modern mainstream science is very very young).

Or maybe these scientists at the ring don't really know what they'll find at all.

Maybe science will hit a brick wall and all they'll get is nonsensical crumbs.

Or maybe they'll discover something as important as when humans discovered pet dogs - fire - words - recipes ???

You are just scandalous with that title! ;) I guess we will just have to wait and see huh.

*blinks eyelashes demurely*

I agree now I am going to have to find some really hot guy to spank you...and good.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 3:50pm UTC
When you spank me, what makes that SLAP sound from hard hand hitting hard bottom.

Science will tell us !!!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 3:51pm UTC
If you just looked at the math, your hand should go right through me, as I'm going through the Alps.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 3:52pm UTC
And then what holds us together in the meantime (even if you're VERY careful not to go through things) ???
Sophie S. Sep 11, 2008, 3:54pm UTC
eh, really doesn't matter if they know what they are going to find at all. All that matters is what you decide to name it. Physicists are boring though, not like biologists, and never pick any fun names.....which is why I will never work as one.

BTW, funny title, way to get my attention
David C. Sep 11, 2008, 3:55pm UTC
I guess this is the right post if you are looking for a good spanking or a cool scientific experiment. Maybe they are related.
Rob Appell Sep 11, 2008, 3:56pm UTC
Your title suckered me in, too. I was waiting for it to be a 'Peter tell-all' post. You told it all; just not what I wanted to hear...LOL!
Tracy Fabre Sep 11, 2008, 3:58pm UTC
unrelated to your state of rigidity... did you know that if you're invisible, you'd also have to be blind? Light cannot reflect off retinas et al if there is no retina visible.

Kinda puts a damper on the charm of invisibility.

As for what those scientists will find, I predict it will include:
1. several socks, none matching
2. Jimmy Hoffa
3. that stuff from underneath Susan G.'s lawnmower
4. a copy of Hollywood Sinners
5. Waldo and Carmen San Diego in flagrante delicto
6. your pet yak, Sax, but only his first four stomachs
and
7. The secret GatherPoints formula

Just a guess!
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 3:59pm UTC
ha ha Tracy

(gotcha Rob!!!)
ann c. Sep 11, 2008, 4:00pm UTC
Oh Tracy, you are too funny!!! As for Peter, well.........................
Tracy Fabre Sep 11, 2008, 4:01pm UTC
a vitopid ///

erm.

a curious mind (and the ability to type) is a good thing. Too bad I don't have the ability to type.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:05pm UTC
ha ha, Ann - made you look
Tracy Fabre Sep 11, 2008, 4:07pm UTC
she's from Gather Island, Peter. We look at men, even those who don't bat for the team we want them to bat for.
Beverly P. Sep 11, 2008, 4:10pm UTC
Should be interesting if nothing else!
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:11pm UTC
There's always a look-see, still.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:12pm UTC
Yep, Beverly P. Or ... I HOPE, Beverly P.
Marianne R. Sep 11, 2008, 4:14pm UTC
That's a naughty title
Rob Appell Sep 11, 2008, 4:15pm UTC
Men and their bats? Hard bats? Is Gather Island putting together a baseball team? I'll bet Peter wants to be catcher. If I can't be coach and locker room attendant, can I be the designated hitter...a switch hitter?
Tracy Fabre Sep 11, 2008, 4:18pm UTC
you'd never switch, Rob. But we'll still ogle you in your tight baseball pants.
kelldogg ! Sep 11, 2008, 4:18pm UTC
gah! i'm such a gutter brain --- i thought you were going to actually tell us with that title of yours!
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:22pm UTC
I'm trying to be the new Carl Sagan - ha ha. But he was cute enough to not have to do it with such cheap shots.

(You don't get people to read an article called Dry Science Questions to Ponder)

Padre, my next science article should be "When I Got Sucked"
The Fine Art of C.C. Miranda Sep 11, 2008, 4:23pm UTC
if we tossed an apple into the mix, would we get apple sauce?
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:23pm UTC
*innocently bats eyes*
Tracy Fabre Sep 11, 2008, 4:31pm UTC
When You Got Pureed would be more accurate, but not as salacious.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:43pm UTC
Can you eat subatomic apple particles ???
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 4:44pm UTC
Pureed or turned into a spaghetti noodle (going into the black hole) ???
Missy Cline Sep 11, 2008, 4:47pm UTC
LOL i too was caught in by the title!
You're too funny, Peter!
Sandra C. Sep 11, 2008, 4:59pm UTC
That title really opened my eyes.
Amanda C. Sep 11, 2008, 5:16pm UTC
Hahah you guys are too funny
. .. Sep 11, 2008, 5:20pm UTC
Did anyone else see that crazy scientist on the news who figures out the earth will basically die because of all this?? He kind of made my skin crawl.
Heather C. Sep 11, 2008, 5:22pm UTC
Peter, Peter. You certainly got me on this one. I was wondering for a minute why it wasn't flagged. You know what.....nothing gets me hard either!!!
Elaine A. Sep 11, 2008, 5:27pm UTC
Wow what a great title ;-)
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 6:17pm UTC
hee hee
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 6:18pm UTC
oops I just found a BIG BONER of a typo in it
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 11, 2008, 6:21pm UTC
I got it off.
Lacey K. Sep 11, 2008, 7:41pm UTC
Peter, you can always make me smile. Hopefully, some day we'll know what makes you hatd. ;)
Kimberly Ripley Sep 11, 2008, 9:55pm UTC
Love the title!
Terry M. Sep 12, 2008, 2:54am UTC
An original post.
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 12, 2008, 11:09am UTC
yeah ... atoms are kinda weird.
Jennifer F. Sep 12, 2008, 1:55pm UTC
tehehehehehe
Wilhelmine E. Sep 12, 2008, 3:21pm UTC
Will you stop already! There hard water, heavy water, soft water and holy water flying everywhere around here. Tracy Fabre is definitely on the right track, maybe.
William Dotani Sep 12, 2008, 3:24pm UTC
I wonder if they'll find something they can enter into the State Fair with Pat Boone of course talking about a home motgage, insurance needs or why one needs to waer white shoes and underwear.
Simon P. Sep 12, 2008, 3:35pm UTC
Well, since Peter is being coy, and not answering the question posed by his title, I will go ahead and say what it is that makes ME hard.
El Toro Bravo de Amor Sep 13, 2008, 9:02am UTC
It's all fun and games til we tear a hole through the space/time continuum!
