"'Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a t***,' he told The Telegraph. "

Hmmm, Twit? Twat? what word that starts with a "t" would be marked out I wonder...

[syriacus]

Death threats are all the rage, lately.

[depressed in 06]

All things considered, I prefer this to freezing to death.

No detail about those threatening science. Ergo they are on the Left.

The Ignorant have always fear what they cannot understand.

Irradiated food.
Nuclear power generation.
Climate change.
Particle accelerators.

As usual, the 10% of the competent carry the remainder of humanity on their intellectual backs.
And keep improving their lives in spite of themselves.

are you logged on?

Well, it is good to see some crazies who are AGAINST the end of the world.

[NVDave]

The proper scientific question isn’t “are we still here?” but “is the stupid cat still here?”

And as I looked down this morning, yes, our stupid cat is still here and alive. Ergo, we’re still here.

Given that the professor is a Brit, most likely word would be ‘turd’.

[cripplecreek]

Irradiated food.

I just want tomatoes that glow in the dark. I've even decided to call them "glomatoes". Home canned they could be a source of light along the walk.

Is that so wrong?

[SampleMan]

If a black hole were created, wouldn’t it fall immediately through the mechanism on its way to the Earth’s center of mass? And wouldn’t this be totally undetectable until the crust began to implode?

Never mind, nothing to see here, just move along.

[Da Coyote]

The left throws around “intellectual” a lot. ‘Twould be interesting to see how many of these idiots that don’t know much about black holes (except that it’s some kind of racial insult) come from the left.

[Ben Reyes]

Will these experiments prove the existence of God?

This is what these kooks are afraid of.

[Logical me]

The Ignorant have always fear what they cannot understand.

Great definition of the brain dead in America. Where do these insane nitwits come from.

... a t***,

Is a what? Is this an Anglo-Saxonism I've never heard of, or politeness run amok?
