    I worry about where my next check is coming from a lot more than whether colliding two protons together will create a black hole that eats up the earth. And besides, if a black hole devours the earth, my first problem is solved. Marc

      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

                  Apparently you did not read the report on the Challenger disaster. It was found that the people with the purse strings ignored the scientists who said the rings would fail in the cold weather; this information was suppressed by their supervisors. And as far as the senseless babbling, I know my facts. Do you?

                      Yeah, I was home sick from school that day and saw it happen. Stop the conspiracy crap you are spouting. No one is really interested in some far fetched idea of big money conspiring disasters. That's best left for the Soapbox where the gloves are off.

                            That's excellent! It gave me a WTF moment when the flashing lights started up. Goes well with Kent Sharkeys CP Newsletter one liner: "What can IT learn from the Large Hadron Collider?" It's all fun and games until someone creates a black hole?

                                        The closer one is located to the black hole and the earlier one's sucked in, the better. The later you come, the bigger the throng will be. And I'd hate to be squashed by those crowds... Smithers-Jones is planning next year's holiday near Geneva

                                        You can tell the kind of day I've had. When I first read that sentence, I missed the 'r' in 'throng', and thought "say what?"
