“Told you the Hadron Collider was a shitty idea! Told you!”
“Told you the Hadron Collider was a shitty idea! Told you!”
What?
Now, witness the power of this fully functional Large Hadron Collider!
“What does this button do?”
Later investigations revealed that, unbeknown to them, Dexter, Stewie, and Timmy Turner’s secret labs were all located within one block of each other. We will never be sure which one went off first.
Due to a mix up in Human Resources, Prof. Freeman spent the rest of his life on a cod boat in Nova Scotia; the Gorton’s Fisherman opened a portal to a dimension populated solely by glowing antagonistic fish sticks.
“Explain yourself, Ensign Crusher!”
Admit it – you always wanted to see it!
I CAN HAZ GIANT GOOTSEE?
Ops…
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH
Deffinitely photoshopped….you can see the pixels!
We’re going to drill in America.
Right here.
Right now.
Now that that’s all out of my system – shouldn’t the black hole be forming where the particles are being collided (ie the center of the hole is on or close to the circumference of the ring) rather than in the middle of the ring, which I’m pretty sure is just plain old non-space-time warping dirt.
Oh yes:
I JUST DIVIDED BY ZERO, O SHI-
“This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council,” the voice continued. “As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is one of
those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less that two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.”

“France surrenders to invading Higgs Boson”
@18
A few years ago, the real Casey, Andy and Mary were all in my apartment, and nothing blew up! (I’d suspect they were imposters, but I’d already met Mary previously…)
“John… is this supposed to happen?”
“D’oh! I go back to the 1970s to stop the Y2K disaster but then you guys get the black hole experiment wrong? Screw this, I’m going back to my own timeline.”
“Butterfly effect’s a bitch.”
Critical hit!

“I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!!”
“tell him about the twinkie”
“wut?”
Long time ago and far far away, my arse!!! They’re fricking right here, right now!!!!!!!!
Flights arriving & departing Aéroport International de Genève Wednesday were delayed for a few hours after it was discovered that Swissair flight 262 was inadvertently diverted to the other side of the universe.
This sucks.
@#6, Airship, I’m pretty sure you meant Jimmy Neutron not Timmy Turner?
“It was before the war … when the huge island called Azo was still a foreign territory.”
I blame myself.
Wow, they were NOT kidding about John McCain’s temper.
Oh Nos! My Pizza!
KB8675309 – Windows Vista may crash and you may receive a Stop error message on a blue screen when colliding high-kinetic-energy particle beams.
“Fries are up.”
Billy was posthumously awarded 1st place for his Science Fair project.
We were going on 3, right?
Halo 3, available now.
Wow, thanks! I’ll have to put up a poll.
Little did they know that ants were descendants of a highly advanced alien civilization.
Ain’t payback a bitch?
Easiest “Where on Google Earth?” ever.
Residents of Geneva, Switzerland, today had a sudden sinking feeling as the LHC was powered up for the first time.
Dr. Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That’s bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
Gentlemen….BEHOLD!
Aw man, can I get that image as a desktop wallpaper?!
On the bright side, NO ZOMBIES!
Apple was right – this event DOES rock!
LHC did 9/11

I told you not to cross the streams.
When they said the world was going down the drain, I didn’t think they meant literally.
Damn. I didn’t re-load the page to see if anyone came up with it before me.
Sorry samf.
You’re far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration – but don’t worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.
I said, “You are HERE!”
“That Hadron Collider is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”
No, this is not your ass.
“Don’t worry, we should have that worked out by the time the final release goes live.”
TETSUO!!!!!
PEW PEW PEW!!!
BOH!
Bassrush 4 – Mastervibe at the controls!
Dang. #53 beat me to it.
Akira!
My bad!
The day the gods played with a magnifying glass.
MENTOS?

DIET COKE?
Check, sir…
Finally: WMD, found.
“A sure sign that Europe is the center for physics”
Actual headline:

Anyway..
Why would any think a black hole would form in the center of the collider ring? Nothing happens there as far as I know. The compact muon solenoid might end up spinning off some miniscule black holes.
scientist in Hawaiian shirt:
“Did you see what GOD just did to us, man?”
“Remember this well! This drill rips holes through the universe. That hole will become a path for those who follow us. The wishes of the defeated and the hopes of everyone who follows, with those two thoughts, with 20 spirals weaved in, we’ll carve the path to tomorrow!”
Also resonance cascade.
You’re doing it wrong!
KANEDA!!!!
It has already begun…
Alien forces zap LHC!
Alex: It’s a message from Torchwood. They say they’re ready.
PM Harriet Jones: Tell them to fire.
@69, Kaneda!!!! was a great choice, actually quite spot on. :thumbup:
“I’m afraid we’ll be deviating a bit from standard
analysis procedures today, Gordon.”
Alderaan will never see it coming.
Now, that’s an early termination fee!!
St. Peter: GOD!
God: What?
St. Peter: They built a black hole generator.
God: So?
St. Peter: On Earth.
God: Dammit I thought I could take a break after the cold war.
While the CERN Large Hadron Collider was a dissapointment, Seattle’s Large Hardon Colliding Convention had devestating unforeseen consquences…

Guy 1:”Aww shit, a Keanu Reeves movie just became reality.”
Guy 2: “Which one?”
Guy 1: “The one I can never remember the name of. You know, the one with the black guy.”
Guy 2:” I thought thumbsucker already was a true story.”
Guy 1: “We are going to need some serious weed to revover from the cancer we are about to get from this fallout.”
Guy 2:”Wait, was Keanu in harold and Kumar?”
Guy 1:”Just run.”
OOOOO A falling star! Make a wish!!!

Let’s see now we are almost done, just hit any key to continue. No not that key!
