A Big Ten Indoor Track Championship Contest with Random Science Nuggets Thrown In

One of the most unpredictable events at the Big Ten Indoor Championships is the Mens Mile.  In the spirit of Bring Back the Mile, let's try to predict  the winning time of the mile finals.  Remember, some years it is quite pedestrian as teams jockey for points while trying to save fresh athletes for other events. The range of winning times over the years is quite large.  Throw your best guess into the Comments below!

And who knew that those in charge of some of the most important experiments at the world's largest supercoillider were also those scheduled to appear on such great TV shows as "The Jerry Springer Show" and "Swamp People".  You know, the ones with IQ's that match their number of teeth or remaining fingers!  It turns out that the brainiacs who came up with the "faster than light neutrinos" were using a clock with loose wires! Einstein was heard to chuckle.

And who knew that Physicists were just like your frugle Uncle Joe?  Both know a bargain when they see one, so why pay for spare parts when they are just lying around?  Ron Moore assures me he took nothing, but wouldn't mind a dipole magnet he could use as a bench.
