It's a shame that Hunter Thompson is dead....

...because I think that this means that things have gotten weird enough for anyone, even him.

(Not quite) live from (the anti-) Zagreb

At first blush it may have appeared that yesterday's start up of the Large Hadron Collider didn't destroy the universe but after watching the footie last night I have a different theory. The experiments did in fact destroy the universe we used to exist in and we got transferred to an anti-universe where the England football team isn't shite. It's just a theory but how else can one explain it?

Not with a bang but a whimper

The good (and incredibly bright) folks at CERN have already managed to get a beam of protons all the way around the Large Hadron Collider and the world has not ended. The end of the world is now scheduled for sometime shortly after Captain Codpiece bombs Iran in early January.

The end of the world

There's only seven days left before the Large Hadron Collider at CERN destroys the world as we know but the good folks at Reason Magazine say that we have nothing to worry about.

I'm still worried....

Eight days to oblivion!

On 10 September the Large Hadron Collider at le Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire is due to fire up and send beams of particles smashing into each other at nearly the speed of light in the hope of recreating conditions in the universe just after the Big Bang and also of finding the Higgs Boson. If Stephen Hawking is right these collisions will create miniature black holes and if he is only half right these mini-holes will not decay immediately and the universe as we know will be over. Fortunately there are some brave people out there who are will to do almost anything, include going to the courts, to see that this doesn't happen. The bad news is that if they will I'm going to have to pay back that overdraft.
