Get ready to shag like mad, get high, loot, or gorge on naughty food because the countdown is on (apparently) from this Wednesday. And you thought it would be global warming? The "Nostradamus" third world war and/or anti-Christ? Try a big arsed machine - the largest ever gadget known to the world that'll be switched on this Wednesday.

I’ve blogged about this exact issue before and you can hit this link for all my LHC blogging. The presss release: LHC switch-on fears are completely unfounded A new report published on Friday, 5 September, provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)’s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind.

September 7, 2008 I would like to start today’s round-up by introducing a new blogger, who also happens to be my wonderful son. He blogs under the name of John and his blog is A Day in the Life of Me. John has recently become interested in Champ, also known as Lake Champlain’s Loch Ness Monster.

briancox_radiotimes-1 First, the UK’s Radio Times features an interview with Professor Brian Cox on the LHC - something I got during my travels: “The nonsense you find on the web about ‘doomsday scenarios’ is conspiracy theory rubbish generated by a small group of nutters, primarily on the other side of the Atlantic.

September 7, 2008 I wasn’t going to write or post anything else on this subject as, frankly, all the doomsayers, conspiracy theorists and end of world prophets are beginning to get up my nose somewhat.

Love this. I’ve read a lot about all the people who are worried that CERN’s upcoming activation of the Large Hadron Collider on Wednesday is going to either: a) destroy the world, b) open up the gate to hell, which will destroy the world, or c) create a microblackhole, which will suck the Earth through it, which will (you guessed it) destroy the world.

Anyone Who Thinks the LHC Will Destroy the World is a T*** - io9 September 6, 2008 – 6:11 pm io9 Anyone Who Thinks the LHC Will Destroy the World is a T*** io9 - 32 minutes ago Particle physics professor Brian Cox of the University of Manchester has pretty much the final word on Large Hadron Collider fear-mongering with the above quote.

A George Washington biopic is in the works to be scribed by Nicholas Meyer. Meyer is best known around these parts for helming both the excellent time travel pic Time After Time and some flick called Wrath of Khan.

We’ve been over and over the fact that the chances the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle acclerator, will destroy the Earth are infinitesimal at best. But the doomsday crowd is still nervous, and growing more so as the official launch date—this coming Wednesday—draws near.
