    In a last minute press release, the varied members of the science community directly involved in the CERN project shocked the world with their real goals behind the experiment. Nerd spokesperson Professor Julius Kelp was quoted as saying, "We apologize sincerely for the lies and the secrecy but the Higgs Boson is a farce. The LHC is really an attempt to reset the Universe over and oevr again in the hopes that all of us can watch Jurassic Park for the first time again. That is all." One audience member at the press release had this to say, "I'm stunned but I understand. That shit was so intense and now it's all like, ok, that T-Rex don't look real at all. I guess I support this."

    blah...blah...blah...

    It will still be a while before the LHC can go fishing for the Higgs boson.

    ...like how long? A couple years? Should we expect results around, saaaaaaaay, 2012?

    I can see exactly whats going to happen here! The protons will collide and create a black hole. The hole will get bigger and bigger until it eventually gives us a window into the future.

    At which point the 'Bird People' will lean through it and say....

    'So I take it Mike didnt succeed with that piece of bread'??? 'I told him to fly over with 12lb's of semtex'!!!!

    All life as we know it will scratch its head, but a lowly old Hawk in the sky will just glide by with an ever growing smile knowing his time will come!!

    THIS I PREDICT!!

    how can you drop "the suggestion that the Large Hadron Collider is being sabotaged from the future" into an article and not provide a link??

    If I collide my proton beam with another proton beam people scream I have the gay. If CERN does it it's "science." Guess that flying kitty was right.
