Apocalypse Watch

Photobucket Image Hosting

The Large Hadron Collider has officially set in motion the test that will recreate the conditions that existed just a few moments after the Big Bang.

Either that, or the folks at CERN have just set the planet in motion on a path towards total annihilation.

Either way, we'll learn more about our universe. Either it's birth, or what it's like to be sucked into a black hole. It's a win-win for science.

Read a BBC article about the LHC HERE.

It's the end of the world as we know it

cue the 80's flashbacks



Want to know what's going to happen when the Large Hadron Collider at CERN brings about the apocalypse when it starts up next month?
Just watch this informational video and find out!

Note: Successful trials already under way on the LHC have yet to cause the world to end. Lesser folks than myself may be tempted to doubt the coming armageddon, but I am mentally staying the course, and holding firm in my beliefs despite alleged evidence to the contrary.

Doomsday Watch - stay tuned!

Well, today is supposed to be doomsday, according to the one "expert" I posted about yesterday. I thought perhaps it would be a brilliant idea to keep a blog record of doomsday, at least as long as I have fingers to type and a head on my shoulders to keep observing with (who knows what will be the effects of the horror that will be doomsday).

Some day, some future mutant generation of intelligent cockroaches (the only things likely to survive a doomsday holocaust) may look back at this blog record and say "wow, that is some powerful record keeping of the last day of the world as that strange human population knew it, we should make this blogger famous, posthumously, and perhaps name a national holiday after her."

So here goes.

June 12

10:46 am: world still here, seems to be functioning normally (or as normal as is possible for this wacky wacky world). Note to self: I wonder why he picked this day, it would seem more fitting for it to be tomorrow, Friday the 13th. Oh well, not my place to back-seat organize a doomsday.

11:01 am: Possible portent of the end or is it what will be left of us after the end?

HERE is a depiction of some of our most powerful images in a unique medium.

11:13 am: stumbled across yet another portent of the end:

A pig that doesn't like to get dirty and will only go in mud with booties on, definitely a sign that the end is near (see video here). Next sign is expected to be snowman found not melting on Caribbean beach.

11:24 pm: still here, no sign of the apocalypse

June 13

10:16 am: well, we have all narrowly escaped yet another doomsday. This day should be a day of rejoicing - I declare today to be known forever more as The Day After The Day We Didn't Die in an Apocalyptic Sized Nuclear Meltdown.

Feel free to abbreviate (TDATDWDDASNM) in your calendars.

Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die... at least according to this wingnut



Pencil it in your calendars, folks, the doomsday cometh tomorrow, June 12th.

On a totally different note, happy 98th birthday to Jacques Cousteau!
