It’s been going for eight years now and the world hasn’t ended. There is no chance that CERN will create a black hole.
Micro-black holes (that "live" for a tiny fraction of a second) are created in our atmosphere by Cosmic Ray collisions on a frequent basis and at an energy level several orders of magnitude greater then what the LHC will achieve.

At least I'm honest about it.

But I'll go into more detail on that in a new thread I'm calling, 'You Guys All Suck'....It'll be an article about Faberge eggs, and I'll put it in this forum, even though it's got nothing to do with politics.

No, what I mean is you are a smart ass in nearly every post you make. You don't have to be an ass kisser, not a requirement. Don't like the criticism? Don't incessantly bash the site in every fucking post.

I seriously doubt anything catastrophic will happen but it would be cool.

Imagine it, all we ever knew, were, or were ever going to be, gone in a blip. Or at least a blip would be cool.

Hell even a slowly growing blackhole, something for CNN and SKYNEWS to report.

I wonder if they'd take the time to create graphics and everything.

Tonight on CNN a special report:

COUNT DOWN TO INFINITY
