Large Halibut Collider

The truth will out

Finally the truth can be told, that all those hints have not gone unnoticed was it the "large scale research" or just the idea of hadron collider seemed a bit fishy.

Reverse-engineered from the piscine-collider found in the Roswell UFO, the story of the Large Halibut Collider, shadow project to that boring old particle collider can finally be told.

Obviously "scale" points the way to the truth and did not Dr King himself give part of the game away when he said "I have a Bream" which was the real reason for his assassination, under the cover of being a simple Hake-crime.

Spawned in the cold war, the CIA operated a clandestine fish-slapping service as a Gobytween with other research agencies with the code name "John Doe-ry" under the guidance of Prof. Mummichog and his glamorous research assistant,Olive Flounder..the cover was nearly blown in the 1960's by a congressman who Smelt a rat in DOD figures concealing the research funding..

I tell you, you Betta believe it...but I won't Carp on about it..

Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic, the UK, under the code name "BIGSCALE POMFRE", with tighter budgetary constraints were working on a device with two stickelbacks in a jam-jar, under the guidance of Magnus Pike..

Meanwhile in China, the government were experimenting with two (dead) shrimps in a vice, in a project codenamed by NATO"YELLOWMARGIN TRIGGERFISH". Seeking either cold fusion, or a quick way way to make shrimp paste, the committee was overseen by Dr Morwong and his not at all glamorous male assistant Tilapia.

Also meanwhile, following up some clues left by the ancients in the Dead Sea Krills, the noted ex-Nazi mystic Luderick Medaka was getting closer to the cod particle (credit UnaBubba).

it was the "I am the fisher of men" comment that gave away the eventual secret batter recipe that Pontius Pilot(fish) was so concerned to suppress at any cost...and it was a misreading of the original Hebrew script that misled Leonardo da Vinci on the quantity of flour to milk and so the Da Vinci Cod conundrum came to be..

It also provides a more coherent reason for gulf war. It was to provide cover for those looking for the cuneiform tablets describing shaman fish collision techniques in ancient Mesopotamia (possible Enki connection?)..which would explain why the US contractor Halibut(on) had so many people on the ground.

RayfordSteele, May 18 2012
  

       Greenland was home to a fairly large community of cattle herders, who farmed the ice-free coastal strip, until the early onset of the Little Ice Age, I think you'll find.   

       Many of them moved to Greenland after the ecological damage done by their herds, to the relatively ice-free but fragile soils of Iceland, made it less viable to herd cattle there. Most of them moved on from Greenland, with some of them settling on the northeastern coast of the Americas, but competition from the natives made it too hard to maintain their settlements.
