There ain't nothin' like particle smashin' to resurrect a half-dead blog

IT'S ON!!

The Large Hadron Collider's hugeawesome apocalyptic intensity is nearly impossible to articulate. Thank God for liveblogging--from the PAST!

4:03 PM Nathan: there is a Hugeawesome update.

4:04 PMjust thought I'd 'touch base' as per that completed Action Step

Sarah: Thanks for that. We'll update the tracking sheet

p.s.:

Large Hadron Collider porn (lots of huge [awesome] photos!)

Nathan: ohh YES

4:05 PM they have a GLOBE OF INNOVATION!!

Sarah: i don't know what half the words they are using to describe the equipment are, nor do i have any idea what i'm looking at in the photos, but oh my god PHYSEX

4:06 PM
Nathan: do those 'rescue workers' really expect to save the planet from a cataclysmic artificial black hole by riding around on scooters with gas masks on?

Sarah: yes, obviously

4:07 PM
Nathan: the LHC must truly get an epic hugeawesome post. It will be a once in a blue moon Hugeawesome event

Sarah: let's post it on the day they turn the collider on

Nathan: but then nobody will read it...because we'll all be dead

Sarah: which i think is august 8th? 7th?

Editor's Note: This website was destroyed by an LHC-created black hole. The internets are DOOMED.

Nathan: does anyone have ANY idea what any of these futuristic looking things does?i doubt even the designers know what the fuck they were doing

4:09 PM
"We were just told to make something that looks totally sweet and space-agey...it's not our fault that we went and blew up the entirety of the local galaxy group...."

Sarah: massive levels of abstraction. my guess is that no one engineer fully understands what the collider does

4:10 PM
Nathan: this should be posted under a title like "Craziest thing that mankind has ever done. Ever."

Sarah: putting aside my inner cynic for a moment, i think this is a totally amazing testament to the ingenuity and collaboration of mankind

mankind..

ha

Nathan: or the europeans, at least

4:11 PM
Sarah: we had the opportunity!!

ever heard of the texas collider?

Nathan: but, agreed. I had no idea that that many scientists would be capable of shelving their autism for so long as to actually DO something together,much less the craziest thing ever conceived of

hmmm

i have not

i now investigate!

4:12 PM
Sarah: yes, do. you shall discover that we were once the leading force in particle smashing

4:13 PM
Nathan: or...once almost the leading force.....

4:16 PM idea!

i'm going to get a margarita as big as my head today...it can be a hugeawesome post!!!!

Sarah: goddamnit nathan.

Editor's note: The LHC is contained in a 27km underground circular tunnel that spans the border between France and Switzerland. Its depth ranges from 50 to 175 meters underground. Holy Fuck:

Hugeawesomethings is not responsible for the LHC or its inevitable destruction of the Earth or its affiliates thereof.
