So the CERN webcam went down, but a graphic was still availabe - and image of the apocolypse:

Mein fůhrer! I can valk!

I doubt it. Those loan guys are tough.

well, looks like there's got to be a morning after

I suppose I fail to see the excitement in beaming a particle stream in one direction around this thing, but that's OK. As I understand it that's all they've done. Woo-freakin-hoo.

When they collide the crap, that should be interesting.

It's made it first lap around...

And yeah - scaeagles, I agree. That will be the exciting part. It's not even on at full power now.

Which now that I've read more about it, I really think if you find this interesting, you'll like that book Blasphemy I mentioned.

Of all the earworms you could have given me...

Actually, the technical feat in just sending that proton around in a big circle such that it is possible to put two of them on a direct collision course is at least as impressive an engineering feat as most anything you see on one of those History Channel "Mega Marvel" type shows.

And considering the nature of it, the physical excitement of when the collisions start won't be any greater either (nobody will see anything except different lights turning on in a control panel).

Unless, of course, the world is destroyed. But then as I mentioned above if that were to happen it would be destroyed in such a way as to also provide no physical excitement.


However, if the first collision is on 10/21 that means I will be in Europe at the time and therefore will cease to exist pico-seconds before the rest of you.

So it didn't happen yet? Damn. I thought I woke up in an alternate universe.

Meet the new universe, same as the old universe.

Has anyone else seen Google's logo today?
