yeah man it's all the buzz on slashdot. Other than the guy(s?) that died in construction, I don't think it's going to kill anyone ....else.

It really is an amazing project, the scale of that stuff is crazy, and it all looks like it's made of unobtainium, I don't even want to know how you come up with that much funding!

I think this was mentioned before, but those pictures are fantastic. Also, I'm not sure what those rings are made out of, but the largest one (27km dia.) would make a fantastic high speed test track, like Nardo on steroids. Lapping it in a supercar when the world ends would be a great way to go, come to think of it...

The Large Hardon collider isn't going to end the world.

I would love to find the person who started the rumor that it would and beat some science into him.

They're actually going to take two boners, accelerate them to .9c, and then collide them together to see if they can get a new form of matter.

FYI: This bad boy starts firing tomorrow! If you see France and Switzerland disappear, you know why.

If the earth does get swallowed up, its been nice to know you all.

yeah but they haven't actually done any collisions yet, no real experiments, so there's still a good chance of deleting the universe

That would be a phenomenally awesome and ironic way for us to go, by trying to manually recreate our own creation.

yes but if we recreate our own creation, and there is no-one left to witness it.... does it make a sound?

If nothing else, we should get an upgrade from "mostly harmless".

There's been a sign in the town hall about this for weeks.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

If we re-create our own creation will there be two of me? That would be interesting.

This thing should be able to speed up time.....I want to tell myself all the things I wish I knew when I was younger..... Things like "don't let Evan post the stupid pictures of you to your racing website"......
