Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Hi folks! I just wanted to stop by and dispell the rumor that we neutrinos never interact with anything. See? I'm interacting with you folks right now, and I'm having a jolly good time doing it. It's not that we can't interact, it's just that we find most things so boring that we choose not to interact with them. Like in that post above where it says "...the average neutrino interacts with ordinary matter so weakly that it could go through about 50 light years of solid lead without being stopped...." Well, would you interact with lead if you had a choice? Hell no! Lead is boring! I mean here you are cruisin' through 50 light years of lead and all of a sudden a couple of particles just look so interesting that you wanna stop and have a chat? No way! You seen one lead atom, you seen 'em all. But, hey, you Mudcattin' folks are different! You cats are cool! Not boring at all.

Well, I'd like to stay and chat some more but I'm afraid that if I stay in one place too long I'll turn into a positron or a lamda particle or something so I need to get moving. But, hey, I'll be back as soon as I get a chance. See ya!
