The collider is in Sweden, near Geneva, not switzerland. Is it a large collider of hadrons, or a collider of large hadrons?
WRONG.

The red thing points out to where Geneva is and if you look at the upper right corner that's were Sweden is....
EDIT: more like the upper right middle actually...

If you can find a picture of a security guard who looks like Barney, we're doomed.

I don't get it why people mix up Sweden and Switzerland so often. I can understand mixing up Lithuania & Latvia (I'm not sure which one is which) and Slovenia & Slovakia but Sweden and Switzerland? They only share 2 same letters!

it is a Large Collider. It is very large. So large it crosses the French-Swiss border - presumably twice. The protons that it accelerates are not very large, infact are very, very small in comparison. So it's my bet that the 'large' refers to the collider itself.

Regardless of the scientific likely hood of any danger emerging from the LHC, the news that Gordon Freeman appears to have been co-opted into working on the project under the close supervision of none other than the G-man... well, I think I'll invest in a crowbar and some medi-packs.

Prepare for unexpected consequences...

Not to worry. Crowbar is on the way [http://www.redditall.com/2008/08/great-idea-reddit-crowbar-for-cernlhc.html].
If you think anything can possibly go wrong at CERN, they have been so nice that they put two webcameras online, one inside and one outside the parking lot [http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html]. Just take a reassuring look if you're in doubt.

Awesome! Well, we're all doomed but if I survive I want to be a headcrab zombie!

there's no danger to the large hadron collider... unless you expect the same astral radiation that we deal with every day to be dangerous.

how did that black hole rumor start anyway?
Media. A physicist said that there was a negligable chance of harmless, microscopic black holes being formed. Another scientist heard this and said that a black hole that could suck up the world could be created. The scientist in question was a botanist though... not that the newspaper would let that get in the way of a story.

You know of Particle Accelerators and how they function, but not that Geneva is in Switzerland?

Do you know what the Bush Doctrine is?

Indeed, it's easy to grasp the principle that a black whole will swallow stuff up and get bigger and bigger. It's much harder to get across the principle that black holes 'evaporate' and indeed most do.

This 2nd picture is hilarious. The guy with glasses, in the white helmet on the right, looks like he's explaining Headcrabs to the other guys, judging by his hand gestures.

Also what's up with the guy on the far right? His helmet looks really odd, like it can't fit on his head properly. Maybe he already has a Headcrab growing under his helmet, or just an abnormally shaped head.

The guy on the right's helmet is way too small. No way is that going to protect him from a headcrab attack.

Well, the resonance cascade WAS due to negligence.

Also, is it just me, or does Eli Vance look like a cross between Kofi Annan and Morgan Freeman? (Both who don't look all that different from each other in the first place).

Go on, wiki it. I'll wait right here.
