Biology Eclipses Physics in Smasher Race

Ok, so physicists fired up the Large Hadron Collider at Cern this week. Very impressive but not to be outdone "Scientists from the Evolutionary Acceleration Research Institute (EARI) announced that the first test of the Giant Animal Smasher (GAS) will begin on December 19, 2008, the 41st anniversary of the premiere of Dr. Dolittle."
In an effort to finally discover the "Darwin Particle" scientists will start small by colliding microscopic lifeforms such as viruses but the collider can hand lifeforms up to the size of squirrels. Thus the nickname "squirrel smasher". Thank you for the link Pharyngula.
