			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>On a warm day in the late Summer, two physicists sat on the R1 veranda and engaged in a conversation about rollercoasters. We present an excerpt below.</em></p>
<p><strong>(hearty laughter)<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">That&#8217;s really cool except I imagine the lines for that are long, because they can&#8217;t run&#8230; two</p>
<p><strong>Two of them! Yeeah, that&#8217;s true, the lines are a little bit longer I think, but they go really fast.<br />
Unfortunately I guess that means you know the ride&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">ride is fast</p>
<p><strong>ride is fast, yeeah.<br />
But it&#8217;s definitely worth doing once or twice.<br />
There&#8217;s &#8230; There&#8217;s Runaway Mountain, which I assume is&#8230; everywhere; like that&#8217;s the rollercoaster in the dark.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">OK.</p>
<p><strong><em>That&#8217;s</em> a lot of fun</strong></p>
<p><strong>Um &#8230; there&#8217;s&#8230;.. ahh, there&#8217;s Flashback, which is the first one I ever went on that&#8230; that goes upside down</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">OK.</p>
<p><strong>The Shockwave is a bigger one that goes upside down.<br />
Oh and the&#8230; the Titan! <em>That</em> is&#8230; so that&#8217;s supposedly the world&#8217;s biggest rollercoaster, yup.<br />
And I assume that; I assume it&#8217;s the same one that you went on, like just a diferent edition of it</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>the same, the same struct&#8230;</strong><strong> That was spec-tac-u-lar. There&#8217;s, There&#8217;s one part in it, I&#8217;ve ridden in it a few times.There&#8217;s one part where you go like, under this thing. On like, So it, it takes you like around on the side a couple times&#8230;?</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">OK. yeah, I don&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t remember enough details but I&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Oh OK. And it sort of goes and plunges down, and &#8230; and there&#8217;s like a, you go under an awn&#8230; like a little awning. And &#8230; you know, I&#8217;ve got my hands up, I always kinda shah-ha-hake bah-hack (laughter while speaking) down, cause I&#8217;m like, that really looks like I&#8217;m about to hit tha-ha-ha-ha-hah! (laughter)<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Well they&#8217;ve designed it, You know. They&#8217;ve designed it to do this&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s like, I mean&#8230; I don&#8217;t think, I don&#8217;t think Dikembe Mutombo could touch that thing if he tri-ha-ha-ha-hied</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>(hearty laughter)<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">John Bradley of course would lose his hands</p>
<p><strong>HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (very enthusiastic laughter), ri-ha-ha-ha-hight</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Like in the West Wing?</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yes.</p>
<p><strong>When the president always ducks every time he gets into a helicopter?</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yup.</p>
<p><strong>He&#8217;s like: You don&#8217;t think those blades could chop off your head? I don&#8217;t think those blades could chop off Dikembe Mutombo&#8217;s head!</strong></p>
<p><strong>heheheheheheh</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yeah.</p>
<p><em>&#8230;some moments of silence&#8230;</em></p>
