GENEVA — It's been called an Alice in Wonderland investigation into the makeup of the universe — or dangerous tampering with nature that could spell doomsday.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

This should be interesting.

I didn’t want to be 44 years old anyway.

[Army Air Corps]

Aieeeeeeeee, we’re a-gonna dieeeeeee.

That, or bupkis will happen.

[MeanMachine]

Such a remarkably bad idea.

I’ll make sure to get all my sins confessed up, just to be sure.

If the world is going to end, maybe now isn’t such a bad time to do so. :-)

[Red Badger]

Preliminary results are positive...........

[Red Badger]

But what if you had an “impure thought” upon leaving the confessional?...............

“Looks like I picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue...”

[DJ Taylor]

OK, I gotta ask. How can recreating the “Big Bang” benefit mankind?

[oust the louse]

I’ve read this a couple times over the last year and still see no value in this experiment...what a waste of money.

[SIDENET]

I didn’t want to be 44 years old anyway.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

(Smoke 'em if you got 'em.)

If anything should go wrong with the space-time continuum on Wednesday, I just want you to know that I love you all.

"This releases an enormous amount of energy that liberates thousands of quarks and gluons normally imprisoned inside the nucleus. Quarks and gluons then form a kind of thick soup that we call the quark-gluon plasma."

But will it pop popcorn?

If Al Gore didn’t have the necessary mass and density to destroy the world, I’m not worried about this machine.

[cripplecreek]

Now I know why the bill collectors are so anxious all of a sudden.

University of Manchester particle physicist and former rock star Brian Cox replied, "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a tw**."

Particle physicist/rock star! I’ll bet he fights crime in secret too.

The pride and the arrogance of certain scientists who think that THEY will be the ones to find out the secret of the universe! One more particle. One more string. One more element in the theory and eureka we’ll have it!

They aren’t going to create any black hole. They won’t know what they’ll create, but in all probability, they will rush to announce to the world that they’ve discovered something revolutionary.
