I'm unclear; are we supposed to reassure the scientists?
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | June 25, 2008 at 05:13 PM
Cern is where the World Wide Web was invented, so we know they can create another black hole if they wanted to....
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | June 25, 2008 at 05:13 PM
Hi Punkin! I *might* be able to meet up with you next month. I'll be on Cape Cod for most of July, depending on when I go rescue my motor home currently living with OtheUmanity in North Dakota. (LONG story)
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | June 25, 2008 at 05:15 PM
Hi Jan!
This experiment does not concern me at all.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be 45 feet underground in my cement, lead-lined bunker of life.

There's a black hole just North of us. It belongs to Robert Mugabe.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | June 25, 2008 at 05:19 PM
I have a bad feeling about this. These are the same guys who have pocket protectors. Just sayin.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | June 25, 2008 at 05:29 PM
...scientists had not adequately calculated the strangelets risk.
*heads to Beer Barn*

I go through black holes all the time! What is the big...
Oh crap, I just remembered. I went through one yesterday and I was supposed to bring back some Yoo Hoos and a copy of Vogue....
My bad.

Further delays occurred after plaintiffs requested an injunction against the LHC's switch-on from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii over safety fears.
District of Hawaii has jurisdiction over CERN? I did not know that.
The good news is, if the worriers are right, we don't need to spend $$$ on shelters or anything to survive. That's because we wouldn't survive anyway.

The scientists at Europe's CERN lab rendetion of the earth surround by blue matter somehow managed to appear as a chocolate dipped nipple.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 25, 2008 at 05:59 PM
...well at least not the Whole Earth. maybe just part of it. Like Hawaii.
and now to listen to Hadron and the Boffins sweet little love ballad "Chocolate Dipped Nipple".
Posted by: JayP | June 25, 2008 at 06:18 PM
The whole thing is Claire Bates' idea. Including the seductive depictation of our earth atmosphere as a dark blue areola.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 25, 2008 at 06:20 PM
Ok, so that's beer for Dave and Punkin, white boxwine for Siouxie, bottled red wine for me...who had the tequila?
Posted by: Suzy Q | June 25, 2008 at 06:21 PM
Tommy James caused a similar stir with his Crystal Blue Areola Persuasion.

What's the carbon footprint for that baby?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | June 25, 2008 at 06:30 PM
I'm contemplating a new beer for the black hole occassion, just hope it gets brewed before the global implosion. Guessing it should be a Porter.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 25, 2008 at 06:35 PM
To longevity.
(Drink fast).

Whoa! Sozzled minds think alike, sir.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 25, 2008 at 06:39 PM
OK..who's in charge of stocking up the blog bunker??? Do we have enough Cheez-Its? Gumballs?
Speaking of beer....I was having THIS on Sat. I kept calling it 'ying yang'. I know. I kill me.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 25, 2008 at 06:52 PM
Nice find Meanie, that will save me some time.
And Siouxie, I'll elect to not be offended by that.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 25, 2008 at 06:54 PM
"strange world"-tears for fears)
all around me are colliding hadrons
making black holes, making black holes
i'm surrounded by the egghead boffins
might they lack souls, might they lack souls?
find the lawyers, it's another lawsuit
offers tendered, offers tendered
should we luck out and create a black hole
france surrenders, france surrenders
and i think it's kind of funny , i think that it'd
be rad...
being extruded through a wormhole might not be all that bad
all the usual forms of matter are really quite a bore
in our giant magnet circle we've a chance of something more
strangelets...strangelets...
Posted by: insomniac | June 25, 2008 at 07:02 PM
oh, the song is 'sad world'...(never mind)
Posted by: insomniac | June 25, 2008 at 07:04 PM
Yeah, I feel safe. Not. These guys do not have girlfriends! What do they have to live for?!
Posted by: Margaritaville | June 25, 2008 at 07:10 PM
Is it legal for someone named Martinishark to have a beer? Just 'cause it's the end of the world, we can't throw every dang rule out the window.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 25, 2008 at 07:10 PM
Strangelet brew -- kills the collider crew.
It's a swirl of trouble in electric blue,
In their own mad minds they can't see it's true.
It's true.
Now what you gonna do?
Strangelet brew -- kills the collider crew.
It's some kind of demon mass in an Alpine stew.
If you dont watch out it'll swallow you.
Swallow you.
What blind things they do!
Strangelet brew -- kills all the boffins too.
In a ring in the center of a mountain pass,
They created a hideously dense mass
That roared.
One that wants you absorbed.
Strangelet brew -- kills off the whole EU.
Strangelet brew, strangelet brew, strangelet brew, strangelet brew.
Strangelet brew -- starts the Big Bang anew.

needs to check out "Conspiracy.com" to see if my tin foil hat will help me out on this

"Physicists hope it will help answer profound questions such as 'What is the origin of mass?'"
Sheesh!! C'mon people---Mass is a product of the Catholic Theolgy.
Did I miss something?
Posted by: Hadron | June 25, 2008 at 07:42 PM
That Clapp kid is pretty good.
Posted by: lilrascal | June 25, 2008 at 07:45 PM
Hadron,
I thought the "origin of mass" was boffin... Did I miss a memo?
Posted by: frodolives | June 25, 2008 at 07:45 PM
*flings 'o' @ Hadron the Collie's 'theolgy.'*
Yes, you missed something. But you're not the first guy to miss an 'O.'

A try at Beers in Heaven in the future?
Posted by: lilrascal | June 25, 2008 at 07:46 PM
*zips in*™
Do we have to drink beer? Can't we have appletinis?
Posted by: Eleanor | June 25, 2008 at 07:47 PM
I must confess, A W-B-H, I have many "OOOHS", "AAAHHHS" and "GEEEEZZZZSSS", but few "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS".
Must be technique.
Posted by: Hadron | June 25, 2008 at 07:53 PM
You don't have to confess. Siouxie already told us. Not sure how she knew.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 25, 2008 at 07:55 PM
Siouxie is
psychoticpsychic. More importantly, from Florida.Posted by: hadron | June 25, 2008 at 07:59 PM
***OMG, boffins*** at AWBH and hadron!!!!!!!!!!! (Wonders about my
futureimpending audit with the IRS about why I had to replace my computer so many times this year from spewing beer all over it...)Posted by: frodolives | June 25, 2008 at 08:21 PM

Posted by: lilrascal | June 25, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Don't listen to their reassurances. The Swiss are plotting something.
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 25, 2008 at 09:01 PM
Elon,
And the French have surrendered...
Posted by: frodolives | June 25, 2008 at 09:41 PM
Are we having a beer and sunbathing party? Should I go get my Speedo and a case of Harp?
Posted by: jug | June 25, 2008 at 09:55 PM
Those sneaky Swiss had us all fooled with their "neutrality" and their fancy-shmancy knives. and all along they're been building a black hole underground.
Looks for a black hole can opener for my Black Hole porter.
Screw the porter, we're going to need something

It's these kinda stories that make one long for the Cold War and Stalin. At least, we knew who the bad guys were.
Posted by: Meditrina | June 26, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Hey, I've been to Roswell, and ain't no black holes here...(whooooohhhh....disappears)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Okay, well, it seems like no one has mentioned the cooling, crisp benefits of Grey Goose vodka and tonic w/extra lime or with Squirt ~ now THAT'S some refreshing black hole beverage - might as well go down enjoying the heat !
And before you skewer me for mixing Grey Goose - remember the depths of He!! knows no "refresh" ...
Posted by: telecomdropout | June 26, 2008 at 12:13 AM
I had my first vodka and tonic this past week...YUM! I had Level vodka at the time, but I luv me some Absolut, so there ya go. Tel, you'r ea genious!

Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 08:19 AM

Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 08:20 AM

Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 08:50 AM

Beyond the event horizon
Waits a beautiful day
Goodbye to things that bore me
Joy is waiting for me
I see an event horizon
My life had only begun
Beyond the event horizon
Lies a darkened sun
Beyond the event horizon
Waits an eternal day
Goodbye to things that bore me
Joy is waiting for me
I see a an event horizon
My life had only beguin
Beyond the event horizon
Lies a darkened sun
Beyond the event horizon
Lies a darkened sun

and rebekah wins a (picture of) the single malt of her choice. Always knew that
suffering throughcheap Star Wars knockoffwonderful Disney movie would pay off one day, didn't you? And not just because you could wonder at the spectacle that is Ernest Borgnine.Posted by: JayP | June 26, 2008 at 09:38 AM

Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 09:54 AM
JayP, that was one bad movie, so why have I seen it so many times? And who would cast Ernest Borgnine in a space movie? Not a very good fit.
I'm not much of a (picture of) single malt drinker but I could use a (picture of) shot of tequilla.
Thanks
