"Both the LHC and the Space program are vital if the human race is not to stultify and eventually die out. Together they cost less than one tenth of a per cent of world GDP. If the human race can not afford this, then it doesn't deserve the epithet 'human'."

Word.

I for one, will have my crowbar ready to fight off the headcrabs. (Should the need arise.)

I saw that picture on Joystiq- very clever stuff.

Hawking's statement makes me feel better about it. When it turns on tomorrow, it should be interesting to see.

This is going to be huge. The last big epoch was the discovery of electronics. This will dwarf it.

Don't you see? Hawking is working for THEM.
Haven't you noticed anything unusual about him?

Hey look, I found Barney...





I can't seem to find it, but I saw this great comparison where it was a photo of MB next to Barney, and they looked like brothers seperated at birth...

Hey...that guy with the torque wrench is turning it backwards.....WOOPS

Time to charge my gravity gun.

BTW It's the Large Hardon Colllider

And I hear it's going to take a lot of hard drives before they can massage the data.

[xerxes]

Oh for sure. I was reading they'll be filling up Petrabytes of data on an almost daily basis.

Don't worry about all that. When they punch a hole in the space time continuum, the Old Ones will be freed from their prison and mankind will be too busy just trying not to be their next meal. All praise Cthulhu and Hastur, their time of liberation draws nigh.
