    No, it's just annoying. Seems to spawn multiple threads in internet forums. No black holes though.

    Welcome back, glad you pulled out of that coma. A lot had happened since you've been out. We all carry small portable communication devices now, and there's a thing called the internet, and porn is not only acceptable, its now de rigeur.

    Take your time though.

    what's interesting though is the engineering and design complexity required by humans to try and resolve scientific queries with theological undertones.

    It could end up being an expensive white elephant.

    one can only hope if there is a black hole, it starts with all the threads on the internet about it

    Have you ever watched Big Brother Valentim? where people live in a house for weeks and its broadcast live on TV for 24 hours a day?

    Its a smiliar sort of deal with the LHC... teams of volunteers are loaded into the collider and they get shot around the circuit on tiny bodyboards. They have to collect as many hoops as they can and avoid the traps and when they've completed 20 circuits they travel over a booster zone and get super accelerated to 350mph.

    Then they crash and the one who survives take the points back to their team. The team that survives the longest gets a million dollars in cash.

    Its the sick overlap in a venn diagram of extreme scientific insanity and the general public's insatiable fascination with morbid self-destruction and greed.

    A lot of people are very angry about this.

    interesting....for somenthing that costs 1700 million euros!
    So this for fun? So a bunch of mad cientists can have a good laugh hein?

    • Have you seen the giant mechanical spider in Liverpool? It cost five times more money than LHC.SkyPoo1/3
      did it?digdre2/3
      Yes. It was 5x17million euros.SkyPoo3/3

    NEWS UPDATE:

    The Hadron Collider will NOT be getting fired up this week because I broke in and stole their dongle that initiates the system.

    I'm holding it to ransom for £20,000,000

    I read somewhere the main purpose of this freezing pit is to separate the whippers from the snappers.

    Who else thinks this is a really bad idea?
    if superhero movies have told me anything, it's that big machines like this likely lead to unfavorable results once they've been initiated.

    You guys who are over there closer to this thing: If the world starts to eat itself, could you post something here so the rest of us can jump up in the air right at the right minute to avoid the catastrophe?

    Thanks>
