End of the world is nigh

[Shewie]

Does anybody know what time they`re smashing the atoms together tomorrow ??

I want to make sure I`ve got me feet up and a brew in hand.

Damn it! I'm too old to get my head between my knees and kiss it goodbye again. Why didn't they build it on the moon or in space where it wont bother anyone but them.

Life, the Universe and everything, why dont they just read the books, Douglas Adams explains it all very clearly, even they should understand it.

 

[Greg]

So is that about 1130am?

 

[Shewie]

I think eastern time is GMT - 5 hours, could be wrong though

If I`m right then that`s 8:30 our time, not sure if I should just have a lie in and hope it doesn`t wake me.

I heard "around 10.30 (am)" on the radio today - is it worth making a packed lunch for tomorrow?!

[Greg]

I thought it was the US Eastern Sea board time.
How many hours behind is New York City?

 

[Shewie]

5.41 pm in New York

Its ok folks they are just switching it on. I heard they wont be planning to do the actually ending of the world part until next year.

 

[John Fenna]

When they do time will be immaterial.....

 

[Shewie]

We just need a baddy to come and take it over and try to rule the world with his evil henchmen. Is it a bird ... is it a plain .....

I had a look on Cerns website earlier and they`ve got 76 vacancies in the Accelerator Lab Department, I wonder if that will increase shortly ??

They are only shooting one way tomorrow.

Things start going bag when they fire particles round both ways, which starts in October I hear.

Plenty of time to get your money out of those Swiss bank accounts before it gets vapourised.

The Moon? How would they do that? It's quite possible nobody has been there! Don't you mean a sound stage in Arizona!

Even if they did it on the moon, if they mess it up and create a blackhole it wouldn't take long to swallow this planet would it!

 

[Pantalaimon]

How ironic, when the world ends tomorrow, I'm working.....at a condoléance......

When they do time will be immaterial.....

Thats a good point, if it was going to destroy the universe it would destroy all time and we would already have been destroyed..so were going to be fine........................................................right?

 

[Greg]

Ummmmm.....I'll take your word for it!!

 

[firecrest]

Black holes don't destroy the universe. But they can destroy me and thats infinitely worse

OK, so it all starts to go wrong. Time's coming apart at the seams. I can just see it. I see all the lab techs start to panic. One woman tears off her blouse and bra, throws herself at a make colleague and screams "Make me feel like a woman one last time!"
The colleague tears off his shirt. "Here, iron this!"
