So this is kind of like the mirror issues NASA experienced when they launched the Hubble...

I feel as though I'm in a time loop. I distinctly remember waiting for the LHC to come online before.

jkr's bold comment

Does anyone wonder what the transmissions between the fire fighters sounded like with all of that helium?

Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->

Update: Due to the setbacks the first particle collision test has been rescheduled for December 21st, 2012.

@OMG! Ponies!: Cry. A lot.

Also run from the mob, they never forget what's due 'em.

Log1c

DAMMIT!

I already maxed out all of my credit cards and gambled away all of my savings because I was counting on the world being destroyed by October. Now what am I going to do?

OMG! Ponies!

NOOOO! But I want to get sucked into a black hole NOW!

Tweak

"It looks as though..." not "thought." Grammar is your friend.

Ideapimp

Who's paying these scientists?

ripfire

I think the LHC tunnel would make for a good race track in the meantime.

evangelistc01

Yeah it will take months for the repairs and they are leaving it off for the winter anyway to save energy....too bad I was wanting the world to end sooner lol.

danatoth

I know the real reason why it's going to take that long to fix it...
Everyone is laughing hysterically while talking in squeeky voices from all the helium that leaked.
Who are you going to take the job seriously....?

Guys,... vent the helium, then get to work on it.

:)

@JackTheTripper:

godwhacker

@myotheralt:

LoL, so the Mayans could still be right?
what other prophetes say about that?

laio

@OMG! Ponies!:
problem. you think that's a problem?

try canceling dinner with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
they're not goin to like this one bit, i tells ya

godwhacker

Somehow there are going to be delays until 2012

myotheralt

@JackTheTripper: crackpots.

shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog

@strider_mt2k: If it's anything like the black Folio hole Palm may cancel themselves out..

@OMG! Ponies!: Government bailout?

GadgetPlay

@OMG! Ponies!: I hear that Blood and Sperm banks pay pretty good. If you can donate frequently you'll make your money back in no time at all..

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

@Ideapimp: But Grammar Nazis are not. Oh, and you might look up the word "grammar." Word meanings are YOUR friend. (A long lost friend, apparently.)

GadgetPlay

I was really hoping they'd get it over with before winter set in. I don't really want to go out and buy a new parka.

homerjay

I wouldn't worry to much.

They're just timing THEIR black hole with Palm's new OS release so that the two cancel each other out.

Clever really, and it might save us from Palm's offering.

strider_mt2k

Thank Gawd!

Ambiguous Blob 2.0

@JackTheTripper: Yeah LMAO if it really happens, and it happens on Dec. 21'st, people are going to go nuts and destroy the LHC. Because that is almost definitive proof of it going to destroy the earth. Also, The mayan calender ends on Dec 21st if u didn't know what I meant.

Sam_Zebian

@Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another du...: Blood banks don't pay. Unless you think that cookies are exchangable for money. You can't buy a car with cookies.

qbrad

@qbrad: Oh yeah, and I forgot. Some blood banks do pay.

@OMG! Ponies!: @Sam_Zebian: @JackTheTripper: This is what I am worried about: they start up the collider in 2009, the LHC creates a wormhole that sucks in the earth and spits us out in the future (Dec 21, 2012), then Quetzalcoatl swallows the earth whole.

ljj

@qbrad: Just sell the cookies. Do I have to come up with all the good ideas?? ;)

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

If this thing gets delayed into 2012, then I'll start worrying.

cjcamilla

Thank god, crowbar prices will come down now.

dukemang

Im serious: just wait. Its not going to be up and running for the black hole test before 2012.

Im not a conspiracy theorist but, damn. Mayan Calendar:[en.wikipedia.org]

@dukemang: I was just looking at commodity prices and it appears that with all the layoffs, looting supply prices are still up. There's a run on anything that can used to rip copper wire out of the walls is in heavy demand.

OMG! Ponies!

@Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another du...: I appreciate the help, but that Thai hooker wasn't exactly on the level with me. And I think she left me with a remembrance of our times past. If you know what I mean...

OMG! Ponies!

@Sam_Zebian: You know, maybe the Mayan calendar ends on the 21st of Dec because the guy making it was up late the night before a festival and he wanted to go to sleep and figured, "Hey, thats far enough in the future, no one will care when I end it." So he just went to bed and it has no significance.

dukemang

@Overheal:
That's just a bunch of New Agers ranting and raving. Sorry, ain't gonna happen.

DisposableInterloper

Well I believe no actual collisions have taken place so the deathclocks need to be changed.

Yeebles

@OMG! Ponies!: Well it's good to know you've identified the source of that burning during urination sensation.. heh heh

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

@qbrad: I know a blood bank that pays, NABI. I linked to one in Virginia somewhere, but they have other locations. You can probably score crack there too.

NOW what am I supposed to do for all my particle acceleration needs?

I mean a guy cant accelerate his OWN particles after all......

Out2gtcha

@Ideapimp: Sorry, we were looking for spelling.

Spelling.

But thanks for playing.

MikeGrenade

I thought this thing was renamed 'Halo'.

Anyway, I bet it'll them longer than that to remove all the crowbars.

Samutz

@aec007: Helium doesn't make you laugh. You are thinking of nitrous oxide.

ericisshort

How many nerds does it take to... oh, never mind.

EricAlder

It was that guy who doesnt know the difference between star wars and star trek that f***** it up
