Hadron Collider fires up on Wednesday (10/09/08) (1 Viewer)

[Don Giro]

Yup. Wednesday. We're all gonna f**king die...

(Stolen from a "de-motivational" sign I saw on the web some months ago...)

 

[Clinton McClure]

Make sure they don't cross the streams.

 

[Jim_F]

Maybe that's how the Universe began in the first place. We might be stuck in a loop.

Which means I'll be waiting about 14 billion years for this week's paycheck, and it will still never arrive.

Oh well, a huge chunk of it was headed to the IRS, anyway.

 

[Don Giro]

Damn, imagine how long we'll be on line at the DMV...

 

[Cees Alons]

So that's going to be their excuse...

I think I will withdraw my secret Suisse Banks funds, before they create those alleged "black holes".


You think it's merely a Feudrian typo?

We'll all be fine as long as we wear orange hats:

The safety of the LHC

 

[Jassen M. West]

CERN was part of the "Angels and Demons" story.

Angels & Demons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Edwin-S]

C'mon, fire it up already. I want to see Switzerland disappear, along with the international banking cartels and the tax evasion accounts of the Global Super Rich.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Didn't CERN have a role in the Firesign Theater's "We're all bosons on this bus"?

 

[Jay H]

You mean this thing????

Jay

 

[Paul McElligott]

Did they destroy the world yet?

 

[Clinton McClure]

Shouldn't we lay down or put a paper bag over our heads or something?

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Just make sure you know where your towel is at all times today.

 

[Cees Alons]

It's working.
Europe still exists.

All we notice is a hissing noise, because for some reason a few hours ago, air started flowing in the general direction of Switzerland. Actually, it almost looks like a storm now.
I really had to tighten the windows.

[Marianne]

Hello, anyone there? I'm sitting in my silica lined closet, surrounded by salsa and wearing my orange hat. Just wanted to know if everyone is OK.

 

[drobbins]

I think you all may have to wait a while for the end of the world. :frowning: They are just doing testing for a while. They won't start smashing things for a few months or more.

So Marianne, you can wash off all that salsa for now. Unless of course it helps soften your skin.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Cees,

Is the Alpenglow phenomenon noticeable? (I almost said "is it de-CERN-able"?)

If they run out of hadrons, I'm sure we can send them some baryons. Last I checked we even had one running for president.

 

[Jay H]

Hey Dennis, better check your corn soon, it might of been fried!

Jay

 

[Marianne]

I'm not wearing the salsa, I just have lots of jars ready to throw at any strangelets that try to break in.

 

[Edwin-S]

All they did was fire a laser. Probably to check alignment, among other things.

Shit. I'm going to have wait until at least October to see if they blow Switzerland off the map. :frowning:
