[Radl]

So , uh, are the OSU Buckeyes number one?

[Orange1998]

dangerous black holes

You know you can't say that anymore, its racist.,sarc.

[TheZMan]

It’s all fun and games till someone loses their planet.

In all seriousness though, the people who’re afraid of this thing need to read a handful of verses from the Bible and chill. All is well. Sit back and enjoy the whizbang scientific discoveries.

The final segment from a BBC TV movie “End Day”:

Shine a light in a mirror and you're smashing subatomic particle waves at 2x the speed of light. Not a big deal.

Now if they actually break the straight line speed limit with anything of mass?????

I’m picturing a physicist saying, “Hold mein lager, und vatch this ...”

[444Flyer]

Agreed. God laughs at man’s folly. I think this is going to be a big non-event..but it is great movie material.

“Blowed up REAL good!”

I don’t care who you are … that’s funny! ROFLMAO! Thanks, I needed that. ;-)

The world will end, this I know
for Art Bell told me so.

[miliantnutcase]

Ray warned us about this in Ghostbusters when he said not to cross the streams.

[OldNavyVet]

The moon missions provided physical evidence as to the age of the earth ... about 4,500,000,000 years old ... and still ticking.

[444Flyer]

ROTFL!! Big Jim and Billy would know.

[rdax]

It depends on what the “consensus” is before I’ll believe it or not.

[Gordon Greene]

I don’t know... sounds like the Obama campaign to me.

And no, that’s not a racist statement.

[guitarplayer1953]

This thing has already had one mishap where it lost one of the mirrors, otherwise this thing would be online now.

...but not until 12/21/12.
