A Doomsday Machine?
Tomorrow they are going to fire up the Hardron Collider. What is that you ask?
The AP says "It has been called an Alice in Wonderland investigation into the makeup of the universe — or a dangerous tampering with nature that could spell doomsday. Whatever the case, the most powerful atom-smasher ever built comes online Wednesday, eagerly anticipated by scientists worldwide who have awaited this moment for two decades."
The Hardron Collider is a 4 billion dollar, 17 mile long tunnel where big brained individuals are planning on smashing atoms together in the hopes of understanding the "Big Bang Theory" and dark matter.
Some opponents of the collider have filed law suits to halt the switch trowing on Wednesday claiming that it could open tiny black holes and "endanger the planet." What?!? That doesn't sound good. It's my understanding that black holes suck everything in that gets close to them, including light. Now, I don't claim the be the smartest person in the world (only the 5th) but check me if I'm wrong cowboy, I think this would be a bad thing to have black holes here on earth. The folks at European Organization for Nuclear Research have dismissed the risk and assured us that nothing like that will happen. Good, I feel much better now.
Basically everyone has their theories on what will happen when they power this thing up but no one REALLY knows for sure. I can see it now. "OK guys, here it goes... Click" and everyone in the room gets sucked in. The guys in the control booth say, "Well that didn't go as planned."
Doesn't it remind you of the large magnet in Terminator 3 that the T-1000 got stuck to.
So tomorrow when you are walking in the mall and you see a big sink hole near the fountain that is sucking everything in, you will know what it is. There you have it, your happy thought for the day. The world is coming to an end tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday.

I think my response to this would be, don't f*^k with nature. Someday one of these yahoos are going to do something crazy like create a black hole in on earth. Or maybe they'll find a cure for cancer, who knows.
Thanks. I'm going to have pictures of Slim Pickins and Dr. Strangelove in my head all day now! I wonder if the have a saddle mounted on that unit shown in your picture so that they can ride it to oblivion.
What about "The Stand" when the guy comes in at the end with the nuke or even in Armageddon when Steve Buchemi is riding the nuke on the asteroid.
Actually something DID happen today corresponding with the "turn on." They switched it on and there was a major earth quake in Iran. 200 villages were destroyed. And in China 200 were killed in freak mudslides. Coincidence??? I think not. We have created a super weapon or a tool for science? You decide.
Insert tin-foil hats here... ;)
