    Will this be scientific proof that God doesn't exist?

    I'm convinced this thing will open up a black hole and we'll all go to some parallel hell.

    Yes, I watched Event Horizon.

    This same project has spawned the creation of the "grid" that will make the internet obsolete.

    My brother and his wife worked at CERN during the 80's. They were helping write programs to analyze the data being generated by the collider. I have always been really jealous of that.

    Wait! Save the hookers and blow.

    Wednesday's run is essentially like warming up your car in the dead of winter. They won't be actually doing any major test work or ending the world till early October. So reschedule the chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze for next month.

    Right! Still follow through on 1 through 3. I've still got enough leftover in my 401k to survive until October.

    So who are you going to nail on TV. This guy?

    I know nothing about science beyond HS-level bio/chem/physics. If this experiment is successful, what are the practical applications of it??

    We get a little closer to understanding how the known universe came about. That is, without reducing the answer to god did it.

    Fermilab, the high energy physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, and major collaborator on the Large Hadron Collider, will be host of a "pajama party" at 1:30 a.m. CT that includes a live connection to CERN to follow the action.

    Why would the hookers be working if the world is about to end? Their list might end with:

    3. Not have sex with gross dudes for money
    4. Catch up on BigSoccer

    They're hookers. They don't do it for the love. And I doubt they watch the news. It's not like they know the end of the world is coming.
