We're still here!

The Large Hadron Collider was activated and yet the world continues to exist. Paranoid idiots around the globe are pissed that their predictions of certain doom did not come to pass, and in fury and rage, threatened to throw themselves off of the edge of the world. Upon being reminded that the Earth is not, in fact, flat, they stomped their little feet and sulked.

Please, I'm dreaming of neo-Luddites crying because the world wasn't destroyed.

Don't shatter my dreams.

And post about your goddamn Japan trip already.

I'll get pictures of crying neo-Luddites for you

I'll see my students in a couple hours. They will be crying. They were all quite terrified and making zombie-attack-style battle plans in the event that a black hole did open up in Europe.

One particular student talked another student into panic, and they spent a good half hour trying to figure out if the Atlantic was big enough to absorb the badness and protect them.

Yes, these are college students. No, I don't know how they got into college. Yes, I think we need to spend more time on critical reading skills. related article (http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2008/09/2008090501c.htm)

I'm a little worried about the less-educated, equally-intelligent humans that are sitting around with their "proof" that Obama is the anti-Christ. Are they in their fallout bunkers waiting for the black hole to dissipate? I know they didn't have professors lecturing them on the realities of helicopters getting cancer.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe a little black hole and end to humanity wouldn't be just what the planet needs.

Just because they are college students, does not mean that they are educated. Just that they can 'test' well enough to get into an institute of higher learning.
