don't worry, they're ready (http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20080330)

though why a european company would care about an american court's ruling in the first place is beyond me.

I don't know if that article does, but the one I read revealed that the guy saying its going to end the world has little scientific qualification (unsurprisingly).

I think someone else already posted this, but it's still rediculous. Even if the court rules the project is dangerous, CERN is based in Switzerland/France, well outside of a Hawaii court domain. Of course, this is America, so they'll probably win.

Okay, let's get this straight:

CERN will NOT, I repeat, NOT end the world. These black holes will be far too small to actually do anything.

My reasoning in this conclusion: THEY'VE ALREADY MADE THEM IN OTHER COLLIDERS!

Now ending a potentially life threatening rant.

Mr Flibbles is not happy without sugar, Mr Flibbles demands sugar.

ohhh tea, i like tea, gimmie some sugar honey....i'm sorry that joke is really bad, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth once uttered. still i think sugar makes the world a sweeter place to live, unlike those pretentious sweeteners they taste horrible and they are so...so fake, arg.

You better not use sweeteners, they put sugar planters out of business, that means sweeteners are baaaad.

first you take the sweeteners then it's the coffee's at Starbucks, then it's buying AK47's then before you know it, you're loading bullets all over shopping malls and then, the sweetener companies take over the world, their world is a fake.

That's possible. The LHC may be the Michelson-Morley experiment of the 21st century, just much, much more expensive.

what?
I only mentioned no sweeteners, normal sugar is okay. Or even no sugar is okay.
You know you will have to die if you eat sweeteners, but don't worry everybody dies at some point. atone for your sins, and eat a fish! er i don't know why it should be a fish, but it seems to be the biblical thing to do so i guess it sort of fits in with the sin of the sweetener.
and stop that sobbing, you're makin me feel sad.

damn, i suppose i'm lucky to not have that happen to me yet.
have a speedy recovery.
Was it in a public bar or a private drinking thing?
I know a flatmate who got beaten up while drunk, he hates it because he can't remember properly what happened. It really sucks.

Same thing basically happened to me, except it was just a punch.
