sgtcrispy Posted November 6, 2009 Apparently the LHC was shutdown recently. Again.... This time by a chunk of bread that fell from the mouth of a passing bird. Yeah ok. Is this thing made out of Fabriche eggs and Jenga blocks? Quick link to the /. post http://vb.ly/63f 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted November 6, 2009 I think it's time CERN stopped feeding us this LHC nonsense and admitted that they're attempting to build an Infinite Improbability Drive. 0 Share this post Link to post

destx Posted November 6, 2009 FOWL PLAY! IT'S BEING SABOTAGED FROM THE FUTURE BY HYPERINTELLIGENT AVIAN MUTANTS!!! LIKE TERMINATOR BUT WITH BIRDS HOLY SHIT 0 Share this post Link to post
gggmork Posted November 6, 2009 Maybe if they weren't so busy recording CERN rap videos they would have noticed the bread earlier. lol, jenga blocks. lol, the link from slashdot looks like the bird is doing a hole in one to kill the death star. 0 Share this post Link to post
Philnemba Posted November 6, 2009 Well this is proof that birds will one day take over the world once the human race mysteriously becomes extinct. 0 Share this post Link to post
Csonicgo Posted November 6, 2009 The bird's briefing: The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. 0 Share this post Link to post

deathbringer Posted November 6, 2009 I was reading about that show the other day, sounds interesting. I ought to go down and turn on one of the 50 Discovery channels, really. It's bound to be on one of them (the other 49 will have stuff about Hitler) 0 Share this post Link to post

Creaphis Posted November 7, 2009 More fascinating than learning that the Higgs-Boson does or does not exist would be proving that the universe at large actually is conspiring against the success of this experiment. That would be a far more existentially significant finding. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted November 7, 2009 What if the bread turns out to be manna from heaven? That would make the system failure an Act of God, as well as deliberate sabotage. Which begs the question - what dirty little secret is the man upstairs trying to hide? 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted November 7, 2009 I'm pretty sure the corvids and cephalopods will take over the world in our absence. I'm kind of starting to wonder if these are signs that we're dealing in voodoo-science we aren't supposed to. That would be the most hilarious explanation, at least. 0 Share this post Link to post

You'll have to tell me how that is. I've become a Bioware fan by default since I pretty much have never played a game of theirs I didn't like. Can't wait for Mass Effect 2 either! 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted November 7, 2009 Hell yeah Nomad. I've been playing Mass Effect like crazy lately cause I lost my save when I reformatted recently... Can't fking wait to play Dragon Age. 0 Share this post Link to post
