Is the world going to end this Saturday?

This is all so bloody inconsiderate, couldn't they at least wait until after the Olympics?

Bl**dy better not end on Saturday.

I've just booked a holiday for December.

Not to worry, 10,000 engineers from 85 countries built it. It'll never work first time

Or second time .....

Or ..

You raise a valid point. Say for example miniature black holes were suddenly produced all over the world, they only lasted for a few seconds tops, but caused a fair old whack of damage.

If a black hole did pop up outside my house and suck half of my Alfa 156 through it leaving the other half spliced open, where would I stand with my insurers?

Long as it doesn't suck up all the beer....that's my job

Why do you mention the 156?

Surely you'll have a different car by then. It's three days away!

Unless I can get an 8c by Saturday this argument isn't working for me

One thing is for sure, they can't blame it on an Act of God.

i had never heard of this until i come across this thread and now ive been reading about it for the last few hours it all sounds a bit disturbing to me they have done with out it for thousands of years so why take the risks lol i like how they cant tell you enough times in the articles how safe it is hmm lol only time will tell be an interesting bit of kit if it works without killing us all ha ha

It's no different to when they set off the 1st Atom bomb, it was a nuclear chain reaction and no-one really knew if it would stop at just a big explosion or whether it would consume the earth.

Damn - I'm getting my hair done next Thursday

You need to be 'letting it down' instead!

To keep things PC - could we not call it a hole of uncertainty??

There's some pretty nifty stuff that's come out of CERN.
You'd not be using this HTML web page as you are without
