Earth to End This Week
We're retiring tomorrow and maxing out our credit cards:
- Sounds like the premise of a bad sci-fi movie: Big-time physics experiment accidentally destroys the Earth. Scientists really don't think that will happen when the Large Hadron Collider fires up at the Swiss-French border on Wednesday, but the fact it's being debated tells you how unprecedented the new device is.
Seven times more powerful than Fermilab's main particle collider in Batavia, the new facility will smash together intense beams of subatomic protons, producing so much energy that some theories predict it could form tiny black holes. That has led to two lawsuits—one filed in Europe, one in Hawaii—seeking to halt the project and save the planet.
The most far-out fear is that the device's little black holes could blossom into big ones, with gravity so strong that they swallow first the collider, then the Swiss-French countryside, then the Earth as a whole. Burp.
YouTube even has this cool video:
On the bright side, backlogs over and no more J-Fed missing outdoor roll calls.

The good thing is, if this happens, we'll be dead before we're aware of it.
holy poohballs, scc!!!

The Keesing Bandit says---

Well time to get that list of "people to kill" together. Sorry but I would rather have my last few moments on this planet happy ones. OK how about just a list of "people to f-*k"

That's the good thing? I hate to think what the bad thing is. It would probably have something to do with Daley surviving the catastrophe then positioning the black hole on Navy Pier to somehow exploit it.
Scary stuff, but the WHITE CASTLE 30 PK and the 12 P.B.R.'S last night during the BEARS game have caused a black hole in my MARKY-MARK undies.
at least france will go down first. LIKE USUAL!
at least global warming will be over
If it only takes out France I'm all for it.
In that case,no more condoms for me,im raw dogging everything.
Damn!
Armageddon huh? No zombies either? What a rub! Looks like all my hoarded ammo & non perishable food are gunna be useless. Typical. Science has failed to give us the food pills and jet packs promised to us in our youth and now it gives us a zombie free armageddon. Seriously, we are POs in the 21st century, this city DOES NOT look like "blade runner" 1 bit, our cars dont fly, were carrying 9mms and not death/stun rays. Now to top it off we get an end of the world that doesnt even have mutants, let alone zombies? What a gyp! Thanks a lot science, way to drop the ball.
WELL ONE THING POSITIVE ALL THE PROJECTS AND THE FOLKS IN THEM WILL BE NO MORE
Well if Im going to go that s the way I want to do it in a Black Ho
..I mean hole
IMADIC
Leave it to the Europeans to try to destroy the world...again.

You are a true gambler at heart, aren't you?

Stay off the blog Pete! Ya zombie freak.
Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend...
She wasn't as nice.
we could only hope the pussy ass french are destroyed
Earth is gonna end this week? GOOD.
Now I don't have to take a bath, I can drink, eat and smoke and put it on my charge card.
So the earth is going to be a bowl of chilli, I'm getting hungry.
Can I cash in my pension now?
TWO MINUTE WARNING>
This is when I give friends and nice people two minutes to get out of Dodge before I go apeshit.
Im ready and the clock is ticking.

70 - 75 percent of 015, 011 and 010 actually meet the clinical definition of zombies. Most everything south of Ogden qualifies as a mutant.
call out a streets and sans truck a couple of shovels of hot fill mix. F#$@ it! should be good untill next spring?
good thing this isn't happening in boy's town? someone might try and sick their winky in it? nothing like coming and going at the same time!
Does this mean CHRIS and CLEAR will CRASH?????
Guess I'll take an extended lunch.
Yea. Daley will negotiate a new home for the black hole next to the Children's Museum in Grant Park. The political machine pressure will be on all aldercrooks to vote yes for another monstrosity pushed by Daley & Co.
Yo! Kiss the Olympics good-bye.
You know what this means...the season is open and screw the bag limit!
Does this mean I can drink in bars again?

Absolutely awesome photos of this thing!
well , they're gonna afire this thing up in about 25 minutes. In case things go wrong......it was a pleasure serving with most of you.
See you all on the otherside.
God bless us one and all.
