    It's no big deal, if the LHC really does create a mini-black hole we'll just put a mini-cork in it. (I'm betting the doomsayers' knowledge of physics doesn't extend far enough for them to point out any flaws in this.)

      There is a rather great difference between quoting the dead in one's signature to a post, and actually posting on outdated subject matter.

        When the Big money get behind science, bad things happen! The Challenger explosion was one of the bad things. Big money does not care about people as long as they get something for their money!

        Big money had nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, it was unseasonably cold weather that deteriorated the O-rings.

          So we can abuse you in the appropriate fashion for bringing up this garbage.

              But, if the OP were living in some LHC generated blackhole, the gravity would prevent any of his banter from getting out to CP ;P

                  It's what you don't see that tells you there's a black hole ;-)

                                        Knowing my recent luck, I'd win the lottery the day before this kind of thing actually happened ... :rolleyes:

                                          You tell me to be original, well why don't you make your own comments instead of stealing from the dead, original? I think not:P

                                          A lot of people here put my comments in their sigs. Original? Certainly, many times more often then you.
