Wait a moment, what happened? The Large Hadron Collider has been turned on, and we're still here!?

How foolish do all you folks who claimed that it would be the end of the Earth feel now? The LHC was started more than seven hours ago, and we're all still alive. Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle!!

What will be the next "the sky is falling" disaster for all you doom-and-gloomers"

    The gullible followers will move on to getting frightened by 2012. The ringleaders will claim that a black hole WAS created (and the U.S. government is covering it up, even though the experiment is in Switzerland) and is eating the Earth right now.

    Ya if you read the papers they said that the scientists didn't actually slam the neutrons into each other. They just sent them in a circle. They don't plan to hit them together until after the winter at full speed.

    They're still going to act high and mighty about it.

    "We never said it would definitely end the world, only that there was a chance. Obviously we got lucky, but it's sickening that scientists went through with this experiment anyways and risked our planet and all of us. I love Jesus!"

    are ya sure, Dave?.... you think maybe it opened up a portal to a parallel universe and we just slid thru?...

    they won't feel foolish... they'll go with the old excuse, "But it wasn't ME who thought so, it was my buddy Pete who told me about it...." and they'll be wide open to whatever hoax flies by next..... and we'll all have to see it on the Y/A pages till THAT one is proven wrong, too...

    do what I do... smile all the way thru it.....with the understanding that without the fools and doofus questions, we'd be just sitting here reading actual scientific q/a's..... (there is that bit of entertainment value, afterall....)
