I'm getting this book
-
The story starts off in the aftermath of a secret particle accelerator experiment. Somehow the experiment has opened some sort of interdimensional rift allowing demons to possess the dead. As the dead come back to life, the zombie plague that results is not like any other plague shown in movies like Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead.The story's protagonist is Jim Thurmond, a construction worker living in West Virginia. Hiding away in a bomb shelter, which was previously constructed because of a fear of the aftermath of Y2K, Thurmond holds off packs of roving zombies, many of which were his neighbors and one of which is his recently deceased second wife who was pregnant. A distraught Jim laments his situation and worries about his son, Danny, who is living with Jim's first wife in upstate New Jersey. Jim considers suicide when unexpectedly Jim's cellphone rings with a message from his son, Danny. Danny whispers into the phone that while their situation is equally morbid they are, for the present moment, safe hiding away from the zombies. Jim's suicidal thoughts turn around into a new purpose - to rescue Danny. Jim packs some supplies from the shelter and heads out into an apocalyptic United States overrun with gruesome sights. Jim fights his way out of the shelter by killing his undead neighbors and even his undead second wife, who taunts him with his unborn daughter. The moment he leaves the shelter, Jim is on the run discovering that the undead possess the ability to think, drive cars, use weapons, and set traps for the living.

Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gadgets/…
A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

Haha this guy is hilarious

Cern makes 300TB of data available to download
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/arch…
Cern has released 300TB of data from the collider for free, with around half of the data originating from tests conducted in 2011.
The data has been split into two categories – primary datasets used by the scientists working at the collider, and "derived datasets", which provide a more accessible and easy to understand look at the data for those without the same level of knowledge. These, Cern says, could be "readily analysed by university of high school students" who want to play with the data.
