Today,
fasterthanlight sent me the following link:
http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/ Me, being a big ol' dork, passed it along to some of my friends at Andy Cantaloupe, namely the comp sci librarian and the head librarian (who's also the physics librarian). And I got this response from the physics librarian:
"They've only sent a proton beam in one direction so far. Then they'll change directions. And THEN they'll start trying collisions - so some time next month the world will end."
I should know better than to send things like this to a physics librarian. It's a similar response to what Hubby gave me when I showed him the site.
