THERE’S A SLIGHT CHANCE THE WORLD WILL END IN AUGUST
Monday, June 30th, 2008Every couple of months, it seems like a new theory turns up about global annihilation . . . and how we all need to freak out because we’re about to die. Here’s the latest on that . . .
–Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research have developed the world’s most powerful particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider (–or LHC).
(–If you don’t know what a particle accelerator is, it’s basically a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically-charged particles. TVs and X-ray machines are examples of small-scale particle accelerators.)
–Now, I’m not going to bore you with all the scientific details of the project . . . because chances are most of us wouldn’t really understand them anyway.
–But the gist is that the LHC could allow scientists to see invisible “dark matter” that makes up 96% of the universe . . . and could allow them to detect up to TEN dimensions (–right now, we can only detect three dimensions . . . length, width and depth).
–Sounds pretty cool, right? It is . . . but there’s just one tiny problem.
–See, there’s a slight possibility that when the device is activated in August . . . the world will be DESTROYED. The two main concerns are:
#1.) That the LHC could spit out killer particles called strangelets which would basically eat away at the planet until it was nothing more than a lifeless rock. Or . . .
#2.) That the LHC could cause a black hole to form . . . which would swallow the planet.
–According to some scientists, the odds of global annihilation occurring when the LHC is switched on in August . . . are about ONE in 50 MILLION.

(–OK, so ONE in 50 MILLION are pretty good odds . . . but we’re talking about the end of the world here. At what point is it too risky to continue the experiment? ONE in 10 MILLION odds? ONE in a MILLION? What’s the cut off point???)
Remember KATIE REES? She’s the former Miss Nevada USA who was forced to give back her crown in 2006 after pictures of her getting naked and hammered showed up online.
Here’s some good news for women: If you wear high heels, it won’t just help you attract a HUGE, HUGE number of men. When you actually pick one, and decide to get-it-on with him . . . those heels are going to make things better during relations, too.
There’s a guy in Burleson, Texas (–just south of Fort Worth), whose name is Bryan Scott Moron. And I hate to pigeonhole him, and say that with a last name like that, there’s really only one way your life can go . . . but he’s not doing ANYTHING to prove that wrong.
