What was the deleted thread about?

Jo predicted that the world would end at 9am this morning.
The thread was deleted to prevent mass panic
It was decided to let the world's media take up that instead

When are they switching it on (the CERN LHC) - I'd like to time my last cup of coffee to perfection

[TraceyHand]

well, apparently they switched it on this morning 'live' on BBC news so, as we're still here, I guess we're ok for an hour or so til the 'cracks appear'
I did have the TV on but wasn't paying too much attention to it.
Decided to spend my 'last minutes' making the kids' packed lunches

*leaves thread, nothing to see here*

incidentally, my 8yo came in from playing with his friends yesterday evening and announced that

"X and his Dad have both said there's going to be a black hole in Switzerland tomorrow and the world is going to end"

Needless to say, much information was required from me to persuade him that wasn't entirely true (how could X's Dad be 'lying'? etc)

Ahhhh....kids

Hmmm typical media, got it all wrong, they are not even running the experiments yet, they cant even get the protons to go around the bleeding circle. Thats what they were going to try this morning.

Sorry guys & dolls you will all have to wait for the end of the world

Large hadron collider: either it sucks the world into a new black hole and destroys everything or it'll be really, really boring.

Tina Turner has a gig in Bern?

[TraceyHand]

lol
have you got something against Tina Turner, G?
or maybe an embarrassing crush you'd rather not admit to?

[gabrielcrowe]

Mr preference is that they inadvertently open a rift in time and space, and inter dimensional beasts from 'xen' leap through and attempt to invade our realm.

Wait, I think i'v had this dream before.

[TraceyHand]

that line between fantasy and reality is blurring again, huh, Gabe?
