Re Space Digest #192 (Yup, I'm running behind...):

"Many of the particle bean accelerators reach speeds less than 2% below the
                         ^
speed of light."

Is a "particle bean accelerator" something like a pea shooter? :-)

There's also probably a Mexican jumping bean joke in there somewhere but
I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader...

In a strange frame of mind,
