It Ends Here - Let's Hope Metaphorically

The end of the world never looked so cool. This is an inside view of the Large Hadron Collider.

Some think there's a possibility that when fully functional (sometime next year) and they (the science guys, that's their official title) start pissing off protons by throwing them at each other at ridiculously high speeds (99.999999% the speed of light) that the LHC could, well, create a blackhole right here on Earth, pretty much destroying us all. But you gotta admit, the picture is way cool. Note the man at the bottom. This thing is friggin' huge!

Some stuff I didn't know about Sarah Palin that scares me:

• Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is "God's task."
• Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools.
• Palin doesn't believe that humans contribute to global warming.
• Palin is extremely anti-choice (actually, I already knew this)
• Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools.
• As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library (and get the librarian fired when she didn't cooperate).

My wife had this on her blog. It's pretty darn funny.
