The Large Hadron Collider was successfully tested in Geneva.

There was no boom.

No boom today, boom tomorrow.  Always a boom tomorrow.

What?!  Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here!

Boom.  Sooner or later.  BOOM!

Ivanova is always right.  I will listen to Ivanova. (&etc)

Oh, so that's why my dogs were all giddy.

Why do I find myself constantly looking over my shoulder waiting for a giant black swath to emerge over the horizon?

So... what are the warning signs of a black hole?
I mean, suppose there was a sub-atomic black hole stuck in out gravitational field that was not 'evaporating' like Hawking said. In fact it is already in the earth, sucking in matter, growing by the second. Do you really think they'd tell us?

I gather they have got the engine to turn over and rev it up (metaphorically speaking) but have not put it in gear to go anywhere yet. Collisions begin a month later.

In the meantime, listen to Bill deSmedt's Singularity.

They had to shut the collider down...

Actually this reminds me of a sticker I saw over twenty years ago; I think it was from Mad magazine:

The End of the World Came Yesterday.

Too Bad You Missed It.
