So good news, another excuse to party on October!

Good, I'd hate life to end before I got to DLP!

When they collide the crap, that should be interesting.

When the protons hit the fan, so to speak?

Large Hadron Collider... ooh yeah. Haha.

I keep wanting to call it a "Large Hairy Colander".....:D

I thought it was going to re-create the "Big Bang". I'd hardly call a mozzie head-on "bang for bucks" (all 6 to 10 billion of 'em, depending on the source).

Can't we have an aardvark (or even better) stag-sized head-on?

...and who's going to mop up the yukky bits from the bottom of the tube?

Have they got some woman called Conchita with a PhD that specialises in LHC Tube sanitisation? Can you imagine the tip you'd have to give her?

Actually I can: Conchita, get out **now** !!!

:rolleyes:

If they're smart it's got a heartbeat.

while (if_exists(world) == TRUE ):
print "NOPE"
endwhile
print "YEP"

I wonder if those Left Behind people (the ones who mail a letter when you're taken up to heaven) are checking it so they don't confuse the LHC ending the world with the Rapture.

That would be embarrassing.

I noticed today that the pull of Earth's gravity was a little stronger than usual. My scale doesn't lie. Looks like the rumors about the black hole were true.
