Scientific Fame

I read about the Darwin scale of scientific fame. Here are some names, sorted in order of fame:

1. God - 286 Darwins
2. Jesus Christ - 14 Darwins
3. Allah - 9 Darwins
4. Mohammed - 4 Darwins
5. Albert Einstein - 1 Darwin
6. Charles Darwin - 1 Darwin
7. Leonidas - 571 Millidarwins
8. The Doctor - 571 Millidarwins
9. Marie Curie - 285 Millidarwins
10. Stephen Hawking - 171 Millidarwins
11. Alan Turing - 114 Millidarwins
12. Osama bin Laden - 46 Millidarwins
13. Brian Cox - 22 Millidarwins
14. Britney Spears - 12 Millidarwins
15. Stephen Wolfram - 9 Millidarwins
16. Russ Johnson - 1 Millidarwin

Russ Johnson was born in the 2130s.

Current Events Part Alpha

HOLY CRAP WATER STAR GUNS CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP WE IS DOOMED!!!!

Phew... now that I have got that out of my system, now to describe some current events.

Apparently, it turns out that dutch astronomers have discovered a new star. But this is no ordinary star, this is a star that shoots bullets of water!

What happens inside the star is simple, just atoms bonding together. This is what happened to the star to get the water bullets:

1. H (Hydrogen) + H = D (Deuterium, or "Heavy Hydrogen") 
2. D + H = He (Helium)
3. He + He = Be (Beryllium)
4. (At this point, you may hear a noise. That noise is Patrick squealing in pants-wetting joy)
5. Be + He = C (Carbon, aka Coal and Diamonds)
6. C + He = O (Oxygen)
7. O + H = H₂O (Water)

The water then is shot off into space. Hooray, super water space bullets!

...

...

OF DOOM!

PS: Doing some Wolfram-Fu, I worked out the total amount of energy spent on moving the water to be 3.38×10¹⁷ joules. That's 3,761 metric tons of antimatter. Per second.
