Couldn't you have waited till tomorrow to post this... now I'm not going to sleep a wink tonight... then again, I'll probably sleep right through it.
At least it's on the other side of the world. If half the world has to drop off the face of the, uh, world, I'd much rather it be the other side and not my side. :D
So when will the tee-shirts be out that say "I survived the Hadron Collider!"?
What you don't know is that the Hadron Collider experiment already happened, and split the world into an infinite number of alternate realities, all stuck in an infinite loop.
Except one. If we can talk about it happening without any effect tomorrow, then we're the lucky ones that made it out of the loop.
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
For decades (at least) pundits have been complaining that European wars and religious strife has been causing untold misery for people. Wouldn't it be ironic if this time all those high-minded scientists did us all in?
