black hole

i live on top of the biggest particle accelerator in the world (27km circumference, i believe), the LHC, and it'll be put into action in a couple of months or so. they're trying to find out how the universe came into being by throwing atoms at each other at very high speeds. or so i am told.

anyway, a few weeks ago, some scientists in Hawaii apparently decided to sue CERN (the people in charge) on the grounds that using the LHC would create a black hole and kill us all. we think this is hilarious, because we live on top of it, we know a lot of people working for CERN, and they really don't seem concerned about this happening.

in a way, though, i don't think i'd mind too much if it did. on the plus side, we'd all die together, as equals. and think about this: no more politicians, no more food shortage crisis, no more rich or poor, no more wars,
no more diseases, no more environmental problems, no more bills to pay, no more bad bosses and no more idiots ruining it all for everyone else. and no-one would be any wiser, as it would, as far as i understand, be pretty much instantaneous... i say go for it, black hole, go!
