Unfortunately of the LHC destroys the world (and I have 100% confidence it won't) it will be in such an instantaneous way that we will have no knowledge that it ended.

To me, this is inherently lacking in satisfaction and I can't work up the energy to greet the end in a grant fashion when I won't even know the end arrived.

Y2K, that was something worth greeting. Sure it might end civilization but we'd get to appreciate it.

So, all I can work up to for this is that I'll wait until Thursday to read the half-dozen functional and design specs I need to approve this week. No reason to put myself through that if there is even a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 01% chance it will be unnecessary.
