The coolest place in the universe.

The Large Hadron Collider or LHC will begin smashing protons at near light-speed September 10, to either answer a bunch of important physics questions or to end the existence of our universe. Either way, its kinda cool.

1.9 degrees above absolute zero, colder than space!

Cmon, the universe ain't bad. We've got chinese food! And video games, and dingos, and cookies and mp3 players and rainbows and carneys and sushi and pizza and goats...who doesn't love that stuff??? You should visit the universe sometime, its a pretty neat place.

And you know you don't hate the universe that much cuz if you really wanted it to not exist, then you'd be suicides.

Maybe its just too much effort to do suicide these days?

I'd just like to point out how arrogant it is to assume that we'd be taking out the whole universe with this thing. If a black hole does ensue the worst it's gonna do is suck up our solar system and maybe a couple nearby ones as well. The rest of the galaxy would be pretty much the same without us and the rest of the universe probably wouldn't even notice, except Yoda who might feel a slight tingle from the whole billion-souls screaming in horror and then suddenly silenced thing but then again we might so far away we'd be totally off his radar. Plus he's a fucking muppet :-P

Hey, don't you go dissing on the muppets now! :P

And you're right completely about the black hole issue. I concur the same. But its simpler to say 'destroy the universe' just cos its repeated by so many as a general way of saying 'we'll be in deep **** if _____ happens.'

I know, I'm just the kind of ass-hole that likes to go around pointing out how relatively insignificant doing anything ever is. I enjoy pissing on other people's hyperbole.
