baba yaga

Russian/Ukranian folklore witch.

Lives in a hut in the middle of the forest. The hut has a distinct personality, and is built on chicken legs, so it can move around, spinning and screeching. It may turn its back on visitors, or even run and jump on them. However, when the secret password is stated, the hut calms itself and squats to allow the visitor to enter.

Baba Yaga is also unique in that she flys around the forest in a giant mortar, steering herself with a large pestle.

Baba Yaga makes appearances as the villain in the once popular "Quest for Glory" games by Sierra.
Is that a UFO?

No, It's Baba Yaga in her mortar.

Ninth Symphony

While many composers have composed a ninth symphony, when someone says they are going to go listen to "the ninth", it refers unanimously to Beethoven's Symphony No.9, Op.125 "Choral".
Dvorak's "From the New World" is a really good symphony.

Bah, The Ninth is better.

CERN's efforts are now primarily focused on the construction and completion of the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. The 27 kilometre particle accelerator/collider will become the world's most powerful.

Using the LHC (to be completed in 2007) CERN hopes to set and study conditions very close to those shortly after the Big Bang. They hope to answer questions such as: "What is Mass? Are there extra dimensions? Are there violations between the symmetry of matter and antimatter?"

Numerous CERN physicist have been awarded Nobel Prizes, and CERN is reconized as the creator of the World Wide Web.
