Don't buy any green bananas.

lol...yeah in Florida ;)

[Malsua]

I’ve got some interesting things hanging around my house nowadays. :)

...like a coffee mug...

My feed is horrible. Why are they doing this? Kinda spooky, I think.

[Rick.Donaldson]

Very good!

And thank you! hahahaha

[BuffaloJack]

Does Pelosi and the Save the Planet crowd know that the world’s going to end? /sarc

[Scythian]

PICS, give time to load

[Rick.Donaldson]

I had a picture posted on my site before Olav took it down. I still have picture someplace, but no where really to host anything

If the Collider does create a black hole that engulfs us all, will it be instantaneous, or will we have time enough to realize what's happening? After much discussion, we decided we'd have a few seconds (in North America) to know what had happened.

Depends on what the speed of dark is..............

Well, if this thing ends the world, Obama won’t be elected President. I guess that’s not all bad.

[RobinOfKingston]

Wow! I’m glad I saw this article. Now when I see the leading edge of the burning earth coming at me, I will know what it is.

[stefanbatory]

a number of years ago...maybe 03? like what?

[massgopguy]

It’s just like I saw on Dr. Who.

End of the World? Hadron Collider to be turned on this weekend.

The title is ripe for a transposing of letters error.

[AreaMan]

But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump?

Headline of the New York Times:

World to End...Women and Minorities Hardest Hit!

[happinesswithoutpeace]

lol, wiki was getting slammed with those “errors”

[Rick.Donaldson]

you missed what Mal said.

Something about a special “coffee cup”.

It’s just really funny. I was there in the very beginning of the story, interacted with Titor (along with Darby and Pam) and were all skeptics.

To this day, two of us remain skeptics and one was convinced.

Even so, he mentioned CERN and this collider several times.

He’s pretty much been wrong on everything.

(The story starts in 1999 actually and moves through early 2001, then ceases as Titor ‘vanished’ when he ‘went back to his time’)

I’m still waiting on the microsingularities, and whatever mechanism is used to capture and hold them inside a box weighing a couple hundred pounds.

Here’s what’s gonna happen:

The black hole will instantaneously grow to the size of the orbit of the planetoid Pluto, then slow down its growth advance to a bit slower than the speed of light. We, being inside the black hole, will not notice a thing. Everything will look and feel exactly as it did before the Black Hole was created. The scientists will be disappointed because they will think that “nothing” happened, when actually it did happen, only they cannot see it. To an outside observer, on Alpha Centauri, for instance, they will see a star go out.............
