...says Stephen Hawking.

I figure if he actually said that, I'll trust him over a bunch of ignorant naysayers screaming that there's a percent of a percent of a chance of a micro black hole actually doing something.

(initial tests are positive, hooray!)

Well, I believe the Large Hardon Collider will bring great darkness upon us.
I fucking hate homos

The LHC has proven that Javascript is dangerous:

How can you argue with logic like that?

Towelie · « **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2008, 10:38:58 am »

Fuck, I better turn off javascript!

That's really cool. Gives some perspective about what they're actually doing.

Especially the part where it shows the LHC and the parking lot outside the facility blowing up..

It's not blowing up....it's imploding.

Yet the result is still the same for us! I'm going to go out on a limb and say Camel didn't watch the entire feed.

No they didn't! I wasn't planning on visiting that webcam page until they said something. They didn't ruin it, they gave me a laugh instead.

I don't believe you understood me. Totally ruined.

You're not the one who ruined it. You did good.

Pfft, who reads replies without looking at the image first, if they were ever intending to look at it?

leet_muffin · « **Reply #25 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:12:53 pm »

Was going to post this in Dream Log, but I decided this is a much more appropriate place.

This morning I had a dream: I was sitting in my room, heard a high pitched distant noise accompanied with a white flash in the sky, looked outside, saw/heard another. Then I heard this loud deep humming which got louder and louder, and finally exploded into the loudest fucking boom ever, which woke me up.

Camel · « **Reply #26 on:** September 13, 2008, 09:31:12 pm »

You see the flash before you hear anything. In fact, if you're anywhere near it, you get vaporized by the flash before you hear anything.

Some nice person put up a map of which countries have been destroyed so far:
