    So if CERN is Black Mesa, just who is Aperture Science? #cernhalflife

    I hope they have some big doors there that lock tight, to hold all the aliens in there.

    But, the vortigons (sp?), can actually be useful and go into the medical industry. Since they revived Alyx after her enounter with the hunter. #cernhalflife

    As a guy named Gordon -- and a Gordon who has worked at particle accelerators before, and is wearing a SLAC hoodie at this very moment, at that -- I completely agree with this assessment. #cernhalflife

    Are you freaking kidding me??? The device can potentially implode the bloody PLANET and the geniuses that run the place hire terrrorists to help run it?

    Please, can we not start an Al-Qaeda witch hunt? That's what this seems like to me. Another witch hunt, as if we didn't learn from Salem or McCarthy.

    @Bluth Certified Law Firm: I don't think Al Quaeda employs witches - that would be paganistic, i.e. unislamic.

    You do know that the Muslim world's foremost nuclear scientist, A Q Khan, is revered not for any inventions or breakthroughs of his own, but for how must centrifuge data he stole while working in the Netherlands?

    Later today, we will also learn he has connections to T-Mobile.

    Supermassive black holes going unaccounted for.

    Al Qaeda at the LHC.

    I don't like where this is going.

    Anyone else see any parallels here to Angels and Demons? Minus the devious plot to undermine the Catholic religion and poor acting by Tom Hanks that is...

    I completely forgot about the LHC, when is that supposed to be back up and running?

    On a side note: If we ever capture Osama Bin Laden, a good execution would be for him to stand somewhere within the LHC and get bombarded by atoms going near the speed of light.

    I hope there isn't the whole panic wave again like the first scheduled start up.
    I never had these weird fears before Giz....Hadrons, Zombies, 2012, Steve Ballmer, RIAA, etc. Worrying about this stuff keeps me up at night you know.
