Switzerland is still here.

Well, they ran that super collider thingy last night. They sent one beam around clockwise and another around counterclockwise. They knew it worked when two white dots appeared on the computer screen. That's lame. 
What happened to the black hole? 
The Big Bang? 
Two white dots? 
You have got to be kidding.

 (Why are we wanting to replicate a supposed Big Bang anyway? Seems a little foolhardy to me.)

You know, this whole thing reminds me of the Fisher Price Speedstar Raceway.
One can smash things together for a lot less money.

One more thing. Stephen Hawking has declared the super collider safe. 
No need to worry anymore.
Shucks.
I needed something to worry about.
