David has some concerns over whether or not the “Large Hardon Collider” will create a wormhole, and if he should have a period costume ready just in case. Sounds like somebody is ready for the “birds and the bees” talk.

Tom Hanks Will Destroy the World
Celebrity Buzz We should have seen this coming. When the Large Hadron Collider starts up again in September, Tom Hanks will be the one to switch it on. Then it will create a black hole and destroy the Earth. First that terrible haircut, now this. Why, Tom? Why??

The super collider facility in Switzerland is about to go on-line. They’ll be starting smaller particle beaming experiments, working up to a full particle collision by the end of 2008. They’ll either solve some of the major problems of modern physics or tear a whole in space/time and end reality as we know it.
