This article is basically saying that research and innovation are bad. That's fucked up if you ask me.

or as a byproduct of fission, that's the source of most Helium on Earth (alpha particles are Helium nuclei).

It's smart, but emotionally unstable.

Ditch Minecraft and make Minecraft 2. Better graphics! Faster! (Runs on windows only).
