Yes! Here, quickly! Take my son, Bizarro! Save him!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:37 / 03.09.08
Is it because you actually want to save him, or is he just a nuisance? It's the difference between sending him to Rann and sending him to, I don't know, Lame Ass Planet Number 67.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:40 / 03.09.08
Well... just to be safe, send him to the good one. I'd hate for it to end up that Earth was not destroyed and so Im stuck here awaiting the fall out of his return and the 'why didnt you love me??' moment.

Kids can be so needy when they're rocketed to other worlds. "I was saving you from certain doom," you say, but they don't care. Kids. Kids these days and their rock music.

They should stay off my damn lawn.

Now, where's my black hole machine?

It's always been a fiction staple that aliens visit after we split the atom, because that was proof that we were advanced/enough-of-a-threat to get their attention.

We'll that didn't seem to happen (Or was really well covered up)

Maybe creating matter will get their attention...

I say get into as much debt as possible because either way it will all soon be gone...

i'm going to try to get to calcutta as quickly as i can - then, the black holes will cancel each other out and i'll be left alive when the whole world is dead.

i'll be the ruler of everything..!

mwhaamwhaahaaaaamwhaaaaa.., whaa?

that's just a 'saying'? and even if it wasn't, 23 million others in calcutta would have to share rulershipness with me?? what the..?

well, sod that, then. i'll just have to speed read ulysses so i know what happens in the end. yes!

Well, according to this article people have been making death threats to the scientists in charge of the experiment! A leading scientist has responded that anyone who is worried must be a "twat"! (I must say that's not quite the language I would have expected. But then I checked in with a professional physicist friend last night who told me that his lab have all been in hysterics for weeks because Large Hadron looks a little bit like Large Hardon. I suppose we must be careful not to demand too much of the scientific community.)

I'm going to believe that they've actually built a Large Adrian Collider.

I'm not sure what a Large Adrian is yet, but I'm wavering between an old Beano character or an eight-foot tall gangly introvert with large hands.

Either way, chewing over that will keep me amused for days.

I'm assuming we're just going to see a spat of ill luck on low levels as all the protective on duty Folk have to pitch in to keep shit from getting busted up.

Waz that bumper sticker say?

"Never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly."

I think our version in this case may be:

"Never create technological disasters greater than your Ancient Deities can repair."

Oy, this is going to cost us a lot in booze, chocolate, and dancing.

It´s so quaint, this worry over the LHC. In two years, we might reminisce about it, when Sarah Palin will be POTUS.

Hmmm.. that picture reminds me of something someone once wrote:

When this thing goes super-nova the world will populated by the dead or the Dr.Manhattans.

I knew it. Future-seeing psychic; that's what I am.

Really NSFW. But fun.

Talk about a 'protein accelerator'.

Yes, Barbelith, you've found my level.

I know you all look down on me for my 4chan habit, but really, those guys have ALWAYS got the best LHC macros.

And if the world DOES end tomorrow... I'm gonna miss /b/. It's cruel, it's crass, it's unpleasant and occasionally it's hilarious. It's pretty much what the human race is like.

For one day only, Evil returns!

Personally I'm hoping that whatever they find is even more complicated than a Higgs.

Run God run! We're coming for your ass!
 
 
Mistoffelees
06:52 / 10.09.08
The world won´t end today, the real experiments start 21st of October. So we´ll still be able to enjoy Bangkok Dangerous, Disaster Movie and Beverly Hills Chihuahua before Earth eats itself.

I'd like a good breakfast drink plenty of coffee, then i'd pick up the phone and tell all my enemies whay I though of them, Jump in the car and burn down a couple of Poilce stations. Nay scrath that, steal a nice car, snort cocaine off the steering wheel while listeing to the sort of music the other half dosent let me listen to anymore (Def Lep, Magum, 80's Hair metal) have a KFC for dinner and not worry about it giving me the schlits, fill my afternoon up with all that stuff i've been putting off, Y'know invoke Pan, Baccus, drive to a circus and brutally murder a Clown. (for the good of humanity of course). Have a nice homecooked tea - a Great big Steak, then go down to the beach where there would be a Viking Party going on-Real end of the world Bonfire,with Juggles, Acrobats but no Clowns, Mettalica would be playing As would The Clash. And then at its climax just sit there with the other half watching it all end. Personally I hope the sky turns nice and psychadellic as the atmosphere burns away.

There will be a Crisis.

Oh do let there be a Crisis.

Bring me a sacarificial speedster super-hero. We will throw him into the collider.

I've mentioned elsewhere I work on a sex health line for teens. You wouldn't believe the amount of kids we got phoning yesterday asking if the world really was going to end tomorrow morning.

It was kind of sweet.

Do you think they were trying to find out so they could use it as an excuse to have sex before the world ended?

Kids today... back when I was at school a friend of mine got in shit because she hadn't bothered doing her homework one night because Nostradamus (and his horse David Collins) had allegedly predicted that the world was going to end. Ah, it was a more innocent age...

Oh wow, this gets even better- the guy used to be a member of D:Ream!

16:28 / 10.09.08
I told them that it might end. Nobody really knows. But it probably won't.

We think.



Oh wow, this gets even better- the guy used to be a member of D:Ream!

Ah, Brian Cox. The face of popular science in Britain. Darling of Richard and Judy.

A name that's like Brian Cox, and a face that's like James Blunt. Therefore, the epitome of Transcendent Genius and Banal Wankitude impossibly combined in the one body.

Truly, he is the beating heart that powers the LHC.

Well, that might not strictly be true. I did see him on Richard and Judy once, and then again when he totally took a stauner at martial-artiste-meets-nuts-reader Chris Crudelli smashing a wad o bricks with his hands.

Well, if the End has been shifted back until the 21st Oct i'm going to rearrange my plans.

I'm going to be sat on a tumulus with Mark E. Smith.

I can think of no better position or company.
 
 
Saint Keggers
14:22 / 11.09.08
Bah! The first actual colisions are planned for the 21st of October... so we may yet all die!

14:33 / 11.09.08
Cool! I love postponed apocalypses. There's something quite life-affirming about spending a day wondering if it's the last one we've all got, something that's a bit better than my usual phobia of dying alone.

Also the BBC's Have Your Say forum was the best it's EVER been yesterday. This was my favourite-

If this experiment can open doors to other dimensions for us, wouldn't it lets beings from other dimensions invade our one? If this is true shouldnt we wait untill we are equiped with more developed weapons before we experiment?

Thank god we have MacGyver and SG1!

Well, thank god CERN isn't under Wales. If we were stuck depending on Torchwood to combat interdimensional invaders, we would be doomed.

Torchwood: Screwing the enemy on the off-chance the endorphins will make them not want to invade us.
