Tomorrow will be a big day; scientists plan to fre up the Large Hadron Super Collider. Some people fear that this machine might create a black hole which wil consume the entire earth causing the end of the world.

So, what's for dinner tonight?

Somehow, the leftover spagetti I had planned just doesn't seem appropriate for the end of the world. I think I'll stop and get some NY strip steak to grill and serve with a good wine.

It's sort of a difficult menu question. What does one serve for the end of the world?
 
On the eve of the end of the earth, I think a more important question is what would you do after dinner.

Or perhaps, serve for desert.
 
It's been a tough day at the Agency.

I'm just opening a can of soup. But ... it will be nice soup. Maybe some French Onion. :)
 
Well, I am at work, and bring my dinner. I had a raost beeef wrap with onions, lettuce and tomato, with some blue cheese. If I had MY druthers, I would prefer my end of the world meeal to be sushi.
 
I have a meeting in a bit.

I suppose dinner will be from a paper bag tonight, or I might make a sandwich when I get home.
 
I made meatball subs for my community service club meeting last night. I'm just eating the leftovers tonight. That Hadron collider can not produce anything that won't be ripped apart by the forces exerted by the surrounding matter that outmasses it by several billion orders of magnitude. If it starts swallowing the earth, I'll start throwing my meatballs at it - that ought to satisfy it for the next several million years.

Those meatballs must have been pretty heavy. That's like the last time I made gnocchi - Italian potato dumplings - more like Italian sinkers!

I'm having left overs as well. Scrambled eggs with spinach and turkey taco fillings. Top with schredded cheddar, salsa & a dash or two of tobasco.
 
Awe crap. I don't want to die on my birthday. Oh well, it's marginally less embarassing than a tree in the forest falling and crushing me (not by much though)

Myth has it that Atlantis (if it really existed as Plato said) fell due to mankind messing with things they didn't know enough about.

My guess is that the jury is still out on whether this thing gets activated or destroyed. I'm thinking someone will sabotage it or at least try to and delay the start date. Seems there are a lot of people, even scientists that are very worried about this thing getting activated so you never know, someone from within could have already set things up to fail. Frankly I'm surprised that the folks behind it have to jump into this with both feet not knowing enough about the consequences based on this stupid premise that some gains can be made at the potential risk to life as we know it. Most all the information we have on black holes is theoretical so they don't even know for sure what the heck they are doing.

Oh yeah, I am having spinach quiche.

I'll stop in at Milliway's for a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster.
 
I missed the occasion and merely at grilled cheese. :(

I suppose that "some people" must not realize that scientists have been super-colliding atoms for decades already?

Yeah, like the Manhattan Project:

"To break the tension, Fermi began offering anyone listening a wager on "whether or not the bomb would ignite the atmosphere, and if so, whether it would merely destroy New Mexico or destroy the world." Oppenheimer himself had bet ten dollars against George Kistiakowsky's entire month's pay that the bomb would not work at all."
 
So, do I bother with the Vacuvin or not? Maybe I should just finish this bottle tonight.
 
Don't care about tonight but I'll celebrate the continuation of the world tomorrow with a prime Standing Rib Roast.
