I'm beginning to wonder if the LHC will every get online. Good article this week, the first one was quite interesting.

 

[Izerous]

The nano cage article is very interesting. I directly know about 8 people who have gone through chemo and have seen the overall effects of how they are dosed. The side effects that happen to the overall immune system etc could be greatly reduced. I'm excited to hear where this goes.

The nano-cage thing is a lot like the things in Scorpia, by Anthony Horowitz...

What thing from Scorpia? I don't remember that

very interesting. I always groan at the "things have accents" stories. Dogs, Cows, and now HUMANS?!? who'da thunk it, ladies and gents? Why wouldn't these things have accents? That's a little prideful in our apparantly "unique" ability to have accents.

So, the earth destroying machine can get messed up by bread?

That's it, I'm heading back to the bunker.

Wait. Which one does what again?

Ah, Whinnie the Pooh... the story of a substance-addicted bear, a depressed donkey, a pig with a very serious speech impediment, a rabbit with OCD, and a hyperactive tiger-thing. We had such awesome role models.

 

[Outlaw Torn]

When I first heard about, but didn't initially read the details of, the LHC story I imagined that some random technician decided to see if he could make a better sandwich using the particle accelerator to bombard his bread with cheesons (the elementary particles that form all cheese-based products) with horrible consequences. Ironically the truth was even more ludicrous.

But it makes you wonder whether any of these stories are true, maybe they did the experiments ages ago and opened a portal to another dimension and aliens have been devouring the delicious scientists within the facility? Did they think ahead and give all Physicists a crowbar and adequate training beforehand?

 

[rileyrulesu]

wow, a baguette? i never was worried before but now it seems the g-man is trying to warn us something, perhaps the LHC is actually the borealis, or the real life version of black mesa, either way I'm getting a has-mat suit and a crowbar

 

[The Random One]

I'm pretty worried if birds can just drop stuff on the LHC. What if it does that when it's running?

Also, even though I've been sad lately, I'm still very creative and not very attentive. Although it must be because Admire friended me last week and it made me happy.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

This settles it. When I begin my superhero career, I will be certain to carry a piece of French bread with me, so that I can use it to foil any destroy-the-world machines my archnemeses may have waiting for me.

I'll be sure to bring butter with me, too. You know, in case I get hungry.

not that I will ever ever EVER have children the baby story was interesting

Yeah, I wondered about that. . .

Anyway:
- the nanocage seems like a good alternative to chemo.
- The LHC seems like emerging proof of predetermination.
- They have seriously patient scientists if they can study 60 babies.
- And the slightly negative mood seems like more of an expansion of common sense.

You mean you left the bunker?

Good article, i always enjoy reading this, its a nice break to actually learn some stuff, much different from most of this site

How can the LHC be damaged by a falling piece of bread? Do these people not shield the important bits from outside effects?

 

[Xaryn Mar]

As I understood it the bread shorted some of the power lines entering the LHC from the outside and not actually anything in the LHC. So unless they bury all the powerlines all the way from the power plant to the LHC this is something that might just happen (even to your house).
