I've been saying this for two days now.
That or a zombie apocalypse arising from a tear in the dimensions between this one and a parallel universe where the zombies have already taken over.

My office is not amused.

That's how, in Brian Keene's The Rising, the zombies-that-are-actually-demons invasion began. So, I'll stock up on basic zombie-fighting supplies tonight.

My money's on a scarred up and eyeless Sam Neill screaming "DO YOU SEE?" popping up as we're sucked into his home dimension to be tortured. Of course, we could all get sucked into Imaginationland for all I know.

Oh, hamburgers.

From my favorite take on CERN and it's naysayers. Read the rest here.

I just hope to be able to say hi to Maximillian Schell and his evil robot.

Yep. Told the wife to pick up shotgun shells at the supermarket on the way home tonight.

I would actually have to get a fucking gun, since it's not as common to have one like you guys in the US. And you have to be approved, and all that crap takes weeks.

EDIT: Fuck it I'll go old school and get my sword and sharpen it.

Of course, if it's Cthulhu, a gun isn't going to do any good.

...unless you turn it on yourself before the madness overtakes you.

The coming pan-dimensional holocaust/infestation/unweaving will fix that.

I need that gun somebody linked in the Bob Woodward/Military Secret thread..

Everybody just remember: if, after this all goes down, your stuck in a car with no gas and a gun with only a few bullets, hold on just a little longer. Even if it sounds like there's evil beasties crashing around outside the fogged-up windows, hold on just a little longer.

You're welcome in advance.

Deep down, you know you'll all be just a little disappointed when they flip the switch and nothing happens.

What's the specific time of the end of the world, EST?
post #26 of 111
Taken from a 2006 article:

Quote:
And while Physicists have the logistics of the LHC well in hand ideas about its outcome are strictly theoretical. According to one scenario tiny black holes could be produced which hopefully would decay into what is known as Hawking radiation (the tinier the black hole, the faster it evaporates). If these black holes fail to decay, however, the consequences could be disastrous. CERN software developer Ran Livneh has expressed some concerns about the project:

"This physical realm is unknown, and dangerous phenomena might arise…Any physicist will tell you that there is no way to prove that generated black holes will decay. The consequences of being mistaken are unfathomable. This subject deserves serious unbiased discussion."
This is one of those times when no one should ever utter, 'Well, what's the worst that could happen?!'

It supposedly fires up at 7:30 a.m. GMT. So.... 3:30 a.m.? That sound right?

Whatever, I knew something like that would happen.

Now they're trying to shoehorn the Mayans out of their end date? Man, they've had that day claimed for hundreds of years.

That's too funny to be true. Are they really waiting till 12/21/2012?

No, I was just kidding. We'll all be doomed soon.

Wait a minute -- CERN. Alan Cerny. JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?!??

British folks -- BBC Radio 4 is doing a radio episode of Torchwood based on the LHC. Somebody should totally go Orson Welles and scare the crap out of people.

Aw fuck! He sold us out. Damn you to hell Nordling. DAMN YOU TO HELL!

In the meantime, better get the Tennant Suit on and my Tardis fired up. Tim, my advice to you is to get a cricket uniform ASAP.

In the meantime, the latest internet meme involves The Large HARDON collider. That's right, HARDON.

Shit, I left my girlfriend's watch in there too. Let me go get it before you turn it on.

I did that thirty five minutes ago!

We can ill afford another Poland...I am so sorry.
post #43 of 111
Hey, you should be sorry enough. You're country had to give us Tokio Hotel. That's right I went there!

Anyways, if we should wake up and find out that JFK go re-elected in '64. We know it's happened.

Now if you excuse me, I need to hide out in some guy's fridge.

As long as you elect Obama in November everything is fine.

If CERN will let us see that day that is.
post #45 of 111
I'll do what I can. I can't speak for the people of the common clay however, you know..morons.
post #46 of 111
Kudos to everyone in this thread. And especially to Cerny, who is looking lovely in this light. Nordling, may I get you another Diet Slice?

Anywho, I've got The Mist waiting at home from Netflix, so I'm going to go home and do some research to prep for the tomorrow that will never come.

Done! I've got my TARDIS key and Sonic Screwdriver at the ready, as well as plenty of towels (in case of hitchhikers).

Betcha the last thing that goes through one of those scientists' minds (apart from some multi-dimensional tentacle) will be one word... "oops."

Oh, and Jan? Nothing ends, Jan. Nothing ever ends.

Good point regarding the towles. You can never be too careful.
