#1 I'm going to blow up Iran because it blocks my view of Afghanistan.

#2 ...researcher hope the positron beam will form the basis of antimatter-based instruments.

Fuck the instruments. What about the anti-matter weapons?!? Mars has been a bit lippy lately and needs removed.

#6 I'm not really comfortable with scientists playing with antimatter; what if they destroy the Earth inadvertently? It's where I keep all my stuff (to quote the Tick)!

#7 To be honest, and to cut some slack to those guys, there's a remote, but quite real, possibility that I'll destroy Earth before them. If I keep getting fatter and fatter, eventually, I'll collapse under my own weight, transform into a black hole due to the gravity, and then suck out the whole solar system. I thought I had to let you know beforehand.

#10 Dumbasses, don't they know they can probably just buy some antimatter on ebay?

No longer. Smoking is so restricted in France that it is as good as banned and you know what smokers do when they leave tobacco: eat.

#14 a5089, glad to know you like the nigh-invulnerable arachnid. "The Tick" comic books are among some of the absolute funniest material to come out of all the Super-Hero garbage spewed by that industry. The animated series was all right but not allowed to nimbly run the ridgeline of copyright violation like the printed editions do.

#15 Might this mean that spacecraft anti-matter engines are not far behind? Anyone seen Zephram Cochrane around? I always wanted to visit Tau Ceti.

#16 We are doomed. He is actually drawing energy from the anti-matter beam. Can he even be destroyed?
