For years I’ve been boring telling people about how the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is going to kill us all. Well I’m finally justified in my crazy ramblings thanks to a Cracked article, Cracked being the definitive source for all science articles
I hope someone let’s me know when they first turn the LHC on. I know that if they screw up, I won’t have time to realize that I’m being sucked into a wormhole or something, but I’d still like to be sitting on a patio, drinking a beer, and contemplating how cool science is.
The article also waxes the finer points of nanotechnology:
Imagine you meet a magical leprechaun. For a bargain price, he offers to fix up the your house and add an extra room. So you take him home, and he proceeds to eat your house and shit out a hundred and forty more leprechans, which promptly murder you.
