Apocalypse?

[CorpPunishment (UK)]

Did your parents never teach you to read a good newspaper? The sun is terrible, I highly recommend the Times or the Independent.

That said this article looks rather interesting.

Im in Scotland and I read the Daily Record, but most of the people at my school were going nuts about it, I got this link msn'd to me like 30 times so I checked it and didnt really think anything major about it. And

You'll all be sorry when the head crabs start showing up.

To my knowledge, the theory that states that this could open a black hole, if took into a more day-to-day context, means that the cosmic radiation from the sun hitting the earth should have opened up mini black holes all over the planet... and this has yet to happen to any planet.

Game over! They completed it and we are still here and there are no black holes....

 

[Major Payne]

Well supposedly we have to wait 4 years to see if anything happens

rofl.... i doubt anything bad happened....

to what i read, looks like they will learn how things were originally made.

 

[blizbiggy]

I looked more into the "black hole" idea and they said if there was a black hole, it would be too small and too unstable to stay and would disappear in just a few seconds

The Sun is not a reputable news source. As far as this whole Super Collider World Ender thing, I actually feel quite safe. And if it is the end of the world, oh well. Good run folks. But before the end, how about we..... uhm. NVM.

Hai Guyz! I'm Typing This From Beeyond Teh Graeve!

 

[sniperwolf1215]

OMG They already used it. Im talking to you Guess what world didnt end what a suprise.

 

[sgt mar?ne]

omg in sweden today they said that the world was going under!

 

[Gunning]

Well supposedly we have to wait 4 years to see if anything happens

Hmmm. That would be Sep 2012. Didn't the Mayans predict Dec 2012? I think a 3 month margin of error is acceptable over that time period. Make preparations now!

 

[NinjaFluff]

Gunning's got his crowbar all nice and polished...

 

[Mr. Dogma]

I know I do. I also stashed my grav gun in a nice little safebox cause I know I'm gonna have to use it.
