LHC "absolutely safe"
« on: September 10, 2008, 06:21:10 am »
...says Stephen Hawking.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2710348/Stephen-Hawking-Large-Hadron-Collider-vital-for-humanity.html

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!)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

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

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

The LHC has proven that Javascript is dangerous:

How can you argue with logic like that? :)

They setup some web-cams too!

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.. :P

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.
