If you are reading this, then the world must still exist. Those whacky scientist and physicists at CERN are supposed to fire up the LHC at 08:30 GMT on the 10th of September, 2008. If all goes to plan, they’ll find the “God” particle. If it doesn’t go to plan, we are liable to be sucked into a black hole created by the LHC or it could pierce a hole in the Van Allen belt.
Maybe it’ll have a massive hiccup, and they will have to work on it for another twenty years. I understand their desire to discern the unknown. But, they are messing around with things that could have adverse affects on humanity as a whole. I’m not going to hold my breath. In fact, I’m going to catch some zzz’s, and hope I wake up tomorrow. 
Peace!

Haha . .you’ll wake up! The earth is, and has been, bombarded by protons for godzillions of years and we’re still here! Besides, Stephen Hawking said not to panic . . .so I won’t!Besides, haven’t you ever wanted to step into a Tardis – you’d be in Ireland in no time (although if you have the luck of Dr Who, you’ll land in Belfast during the troubles!) Fortunately the black holes will be very small . .too big to suck in a fat Australian mama!
To be perfectly honest, we’re already living in a black hole here, ever since the electricity supply company miscalculated horribly on economic growth. What’s one black hole from another, between friends…
Yay! We are all still here!
Baino, the “Trouble” would be which side to side with during those times.
AV, we have our own black holes around here from time to time.
Missed this post last week.
The LHC is an excellent machine. I’m not sure how it could create a black hole, especially as no-one can say with certainty what a black hole is in the first place. If it uncovers dark matter it will explain how the universe holds together.
I’m not sure when they plan to turn on both beams so that the particles start colliding,
