Yeah, I saw that yesterday Toomas, on my daily tour of the net, thats 
a required stop.  I thought it was a nice play on acronyms.

There is such a thing down there and IIRC about 2 years ago it was 
severely damaged by a chain reaction collapse of the detectors, the 
shock of one of them imploding being sufficient to trigger the 
implosion collapse of its nearest neighbors in the array.

The basic idea was similar to the kamiokandi(sp) neutrino detector in 
Japan I believe.  Or was it the kamiokandi device itself that was 
damaged?  Memory, second thing to go... :(

I do not know if its been repaired and is functional again.

I do respect age, I drink Black Label Jack Daniels from time to time.  
Its best when you can still taste the corn.  But its not as old as I, 
who turned 70 last Monday.
