Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
According to CNN, they've already kicked it off. Immediate destruction doesn't seem to be on the agenda, but who knows - maybe we'll get pulled into a black hole REALLLLLY SLOWWWWWWLLLLY.
Maybe it'll turn back time and we'll finally get that Y2K mess.

Heh. I could use a napping party right about now. And not for any good reason!

There's time dilation as you get sucked into a black hole, so it could be already happening!
Next time a meeting or line seems to be going slower and slower, consider this possibility!

Well this morning is certainly moving pretty slow.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
when is the black hole scheduled?
According to what I read, the first experiment that has the risk of creating black holes is scheduled to the beginning of 2009. This is just a test run.
Today they just launched protons one way around the collider, to make sure that...well, I don't know what. To make sure it worked? To make sure there were no bumps that made the protons trip?
Anyway, one-way protons don't smash into each other, so there's no danger of creating a black hole or other weirdness.
At some point, though, they'll launch protons opposite ways, towards each other, and then it's BLACK HOLE CITY BABY.
Also: www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com. Just in case no one could tell. (Also, look at the source code on that page -- it's v. amusing.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I ended up tivoing Fringe anyway, and I think if I keep watching, that's going to be the best thing for me, since I can fast forward through the gross parts. The stuff in the lab didn't bother me though--only the stuff before that.
I like Joshua Jackson a lot too- he's a cutie.

Yeah, they just made a complete circuit of the 17 miles of superconducting magnets. It's an amazingly complex and huge machine.
