Don't worry, when they get the atom collider in Switzerland working, they will create a singularity that will destroy the galaxy and then nothing will matter. Have a nice day.

I'm pretty sure that's not what will happen if they get it working, and that's a damn big if. The thing's been broken since last year, and they're officially past the deadline they set for fixing it.

But hey, it's not America's money they wasted. We decided we were too broke to get on that train.
