Bad news for the LHC today, it's gonna be down for atleast 2 months after an electrical problem in a section of the super conducting magnet release liquid hydrogen into it, so they have to heat it up so they can get in it to be fix, then cool it back down again, which will take approximately 2 months.

On a serious note, those wacky euros are starting up the Hadron Collider tomorrow.   Could be curtains for us all, or maybe  the answers to the mystery's of the universe. At least here's an informative article on what to tell your kids on your last day on earth http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/09/the-large-hadro.html

We're perfectly safe until 12-21-2012.

After that all bets are off.

Well.. 'we' .. slip in the shower, get pnuemonia, have a car crash, or just plain old get shot.

Every day.

There are no guarantees, except one.
