When will the dolts learn humans have little control over the environment.
Look at China. No matter how much they tried to get rid of the pollution before the games they couldn’t.

If all of this disappears in a wink there will be many who will be thrilled to be with all who have gone before.
In any case we will shortly discover that this is not the only reality.

None of these big leaps were made with us knowing what was going to happen. If they already knew what was going to happen, they wouldn't need to do it.

Looking at the bright side... if they do manage to create a black hole and suck the whole world into it... it'll save me from having to go through yet another SOX audit.

The Brain: This is the earth. And this is Pinky. You can tell the difference quite easily. One is a lump of inert matter hurtling blindly through the void. The other... is the earth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: So, you sacked the cocky khaki Kicky Sack sock plucker? Mr. Sackett: The second cocky khaki Kicky Sack sock plucker I've sacked since the sixth sitting sheet slitter got sick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: We're going to a place where the sun never sets, the size of your wallet matters, and actors and actresses slave all day. Pinky: We're going to Denny's?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so Brain, but if you replace the P with an O, my name would be Oinky, wouldn't it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so Brain... but do I really need 2 tongues?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so, Brain, but this time, you put the trousers on the chimp.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" no one would buy them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so, Brain, but then it'd be Snow White and the Seven Samurai...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so, Brain, but how are we going to make pencils that taste like bacon? Or maybe we should make bacon that tastes like pencils. Narf.

Discover -
The Extremely Long Odds Against the Destruction of EarthIs it possible to quantify the chance of something catastrophic occurring at the LHC?
The probability is never equal to zero in quantum mechanics, but you don’t worry about it if the probability is very small. There is some probability that all the air molecules in your room will suddenly cross over and end up on one half of the room and you won’t be able to breathe. But we are talking about risk management here, and I think people should be worried about probabilities that are large.
