LHC director: 'Out of this door might come something'

[xsicbastardx]

I wonder if the LHC is what will cause the Earths destruction in 2012?

Can we go back to worrying about the continuing threat of nuclear war, please? How about asteroid impacts?

You can....I just don't believe ANY of those things....nukes, Asteroid's, whatever can save us from 2012.

Large Hardon Collider

NSFW.

There really should be a gay porno flick, where the protagonists are all nerdy (but buff, after they take off their glasses) CERN scientists who are besieged with amorous intent after the LHC creates one of those little strangelets.

Cue 70s disco music now...

See, I saw the movie 2012, and this is how it goes down:

In 2009, an Indian scientist discovers that the Earth's core is being suddenly being bombarded by neutrinos from the Sun, heating the core to never-before-seen temperatures. Theis core-temp increase will eventually cause the Earth's crust to shift substantially, causeing violent earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanos. His buddy from the US crashes a cocktail party to inform the Sec. of State of this unfortunate development. The leaders of the world gather together and embark on a plan to save a few hundred thousand people on a couple of arks they are building in China. Meanwhile, a frustrated limo-driver/sci-fi author takes his two kids from his ex-wife for the weekend for camping at Yellowstone. He meets this crazy nutjob-nightowl DJ that knows and preaches all about the Mayan 2012 prophecy on his radio show but dismisses him as a nutjob. It is Woody Harrelson after all. His ex-wife calls and for some reason demands he return the kids early. He does, but then the world goes to complete crap, earthquakes, volcanos, etc. Somehow he manages to return to the ex-wife's house and loads up the two kids, her and her new beau, who turns out to be an amatuer pilot. Lucky thing too, because the limo driver has already rented an airplane. The limo driver and the pilot and the two kids and the ex-wife escape LA as it drops into the ocean. They fly to Yellowstone, and retrieve a map of the locations of the arks from nutjob guy at Yellowstone as Yellowstone explodes. They escape that too. They go to China and sneak onto an ark, but there's a problem, they manage to jam the bay doors of the ark open, so as a giant tsunami crosses the Himalayas the ark is starting to flood, breaks loose from it's moorings and heads straight for Mt. Everest. Oh yeah, they can't start the engines on the ark until the bay doors are completely closed. I don't know why, I'm not an ark-designer. So limo-diver/sci-fi guy has to embark on a daring underwater repair mission to get the ark door closed. He does. I mean really, why not? He's already escaped several earthquakes and a volcano in the past two hours. The ark sails the high seas for a month or two and winds up landing in Africa, which has survived the end of the world largely unscathed. The End.

There. I've saved you $10 on a ticket, $8 on a popcorn and soda, and 150 minutes of my life that I'll never have back. You can thank me later.

I love your Cliff Notes on the movie, beeline - it sounds like a hilarious romping comedy with John Cusack and Woody Harrelson playing their crazy selves in sort of an "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" plot, except everyone on earth dies.

Can't wait to steal the DVD.

That, sir, is your sacred duty as an irregular member of the Committee to Salvage Civilization / Commando Debord. Not to pirate, but to steal as many of the packaged DVDs as you can.

& Thanks beeline. I think you just created the single most entertaining artifact ever to result from the Emmerich/Bruckheimer/Bay School.

Well, I laughed, anyway.

Seconded. But does the dog survive? That's what I want to know.

Shit, I'm getting worried now. I really hope the dog survives. [checks newspaper for listings]

Yeah I saw 2012 and I thought it was pretty good. What I thought was VERY good was the fact that they used Crustal Displacement. Which is a very real and a very possible phenomenon.

I know a lot of you guys look at him sideways but Graham Hancock published a book called Fingerprint of the Gods and it's quite fantastic and Crustal Displacement plays a major role in his Theory.

It's all conjecture untill 2012 and we see what happens. I'm just happy to say that if something DOES happen then I'll be ready to either A) Die knowing this world and it's bullshit reality is gonna die horribly, B) Survive and live happily every after or C) nothing happens and I smoke a joint and feel good that at least I was ready.

Think about this......Almost exaclty 8 years to the date of Dec 21st, 2012 we had a MAJOR earthquake in Indonesia and a massive Tsunami because of it. If there is any shining example that something like Crustal Displacement could happen it's that earthquake and the fact that it happened almost 8 years to the day of Dec 21st 2012 to me is no mistake.

Laugh, flame and scoff all you want but this is one person that believes that Humanity is in store for one hell of a ride.

"Africa," I like that. Like, it wouldn't land in "Asia" or "Europe" or probably even in "South America," but it lands in Africa, see?

Do the Africans round up the people exiting the Ark as illegal aliens and deport them back to their own countries?

well, the movie doesn't actually show any African people. They apparently didn't get an ark (there were 12 build I think). as overthetop disaster movies go, it wasn't so bad, but it was pretty bad.

That made me laugh almost as much as beelines review.

Funny how that works.

The dog lives. No actual Africans, I don't think they survive the poisoning of the atmosphere from all of the volcantic activity, but the President of the US is black and the geophysicists are multi-hued. Pretty much everyone else is caucasian.
