I hate to nitpick, but I had to clarify this: amino acids tend to form in roughly equal quantities of left- and right-handed isomers when synthesized by non-biological processes, but life forms use and manufacture left-handed amino acids almost exclusively.

So nice, they'll spice you twice.

If you knew the Bible, you would not say that, because it isn't true. They do not worship the Bible; they worship the parts that seem to fit their preconceived ideas of God. It's very similar to the way some scientists and economists (among others) ignore data that doesn't fit with their conclusions.

Some bored guy at CERN posted it while beta-testing a FTL neutrino network card.

Tesla's Roadsters are built on a Lotus chassis. Since Lotus is discontinuing that model, Tesla won't be able to make more Roadsters. It really is that simple.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom:

"In traditional logic, an axiom or postulate is a proposition that is not proved or demonstrated but considered to be either self-evident, or subject to necessary decision. That is to say, an axiom is a logical statement that is assumed to be true."

There is no such thing as a provably true axiom, strictly speaking.

"on the order of 1000 hours"
Very interesting figure, is it not? From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel: "The cartel served as a convenient way to lower costs and took on considerable efforts to cap the life expectancy of light bulbs at 1000 hours" (citation)
It might be argued that bulbs manufactured before that (such as the Centennial) could have been expected to last longer.

Actually, the idea of an everlasting light bulb isn't that far-fetched.
