SciFi Question of the Day: If a hypothetical SciFi writer advertised “Free Higgs Boson particle with every purchase” would you buy their hypothetical book?
Facebook Answers:
Sarah Barnard Hypothetically?
Charlie Cecil Riley Depends on how good the book is.
Kevin McCullen Limited time offer … in fact, zeptoseconds (10 e -21). By the time I got home, it’d be gone (like ice cream melting on the way home).
Gawain Ouronos Depends on what the particle comes in.
AmyBeth Fredricksen It comes in pink or orange.

Russell Thater only with my hypothetical money
Rebecca Blain I’m not sure how much weight that would hold with me.
Edward Green Does that mean I could hold mass? (Sorry)
Rebecca Blain Another weighty question, +Edward Green
Edward Green +Rebecca Blain if another random person asks me what I think of the God Particle from a religious perspective …
AmyBeth Inverness +Edward Green you can only hold mass if you’re a Catholic Priest. Wait… are you a priest?
Edward Green +AmyBeth Inverness Church of England. We use the term Mass too, to refer to holy communion. Especially at Christmas!
AmyBeth Inverness Have you caught any stray particles trying to sneak Mass?
Edward Green +AmyBeth Inverness I guess when I break the bread stray particles infuse everything with mass?
AmyBeth Inverness That must be it!
Jennifer Coleman Only if it included 42 of them.

Another question:
If I started my short story with the main character watching as the tiny dot that was Jupiter passes in front of the large orb of the moon… would you defriend me? Or worse?

From Thomas Jefferson to JFK, Bill Clinton, and even Gene Roddenberry, men in positions of power have had extra-marital affairs. In some cases, the wives knew, and just quietly accepted it. A hundred years from now, will men in positions of power still consider themselves entitled to infidelity? Or is that something that began to change with the new millennium?
If the Stargate creates a perfectly round wormhole that utterly destroys anything in its way every time it opens, how come there’s always a handy-handy little ramp and flat walking surface that cuts off the bottom of the circle? Wouldn’t it be destroyed every time the thing activated?
Something above you went “squidzle-de-pudh” rather loudly. What the heck is it?
