    Guess we'll see what happens pretty soon.

    The chances seem small for catastrophe, but you can never tell with these things.

    Geez! It's only a few hours away. It sucks that I'll be working while the world ends. I would rather be doing a lot more stuff than being at work, since I am working 2nd shift tonight.

    Anyways, I am acually looking forward to being sucked into a black hole. It is my own belief that if we ever get sucked into a black hole, we'll simply come out of the other side. And what is the other side? It is another / parallel universe. See you on the other side then.

    Phew, we made it.

    Actually, reading the Chron article about it says that they didn't "collide" anything. It was a uni-directional test. The end of the world comes when they run protons in both directions to make a collision.

    btw, did anybody post the CERN rap video? Funny, sad, and informative.

    Unfortunately, you still wouldn't come out the other side intact. You'd be ripped apart by tidal forces first.
