Hope you have all your affairs in order

FFS not another of these threads.

Haha we're ****ed

the drifter · 08-09-2008 10:22am

to be honest...we deserve it:)

seamus · 08-09-2008 10:23am

I love how you have pretty much every respected scientist in the world excited about this thing and confident that there's a better chance of winning the lotto than destroying the world, yet it just takes one crackpot to get the media all in a frenzy.

Oh wait, it's the daily mail. They probably just invented the crackpot.

I suppose, "Science experiment gone awry to destroy world" is much more fun than, "Scientists understand more of world. Rest of population now proportionally stupider."

ronano · 08-09-2008 10:24am

on the plus side no more threads about it

Turd Ferguson · 08-09-2008 10:39am

Lets start a 'who is going to be the past poster before the world gets sucked into a black hole' thread instead...

thelordofcheese · 08-09-2008 10:39am

If this destroys the world, i'll laugh in stephen hawkins no-longer-existing face.

ejmaztec · 08-09-2008 10:45am

At least those guys on the International Space Station will get a good view. :eek:

Ponster · 08-09-2008 10:46am

This topic almost deserves its own forum.

true their fate would be worse than ours cause they will see us get sucked ito our very own man made black whole and will know dom we are stuck up here until we starve to death.

Because the ISS would be able to stay that close to the event horizon of a black hole without getting sucked in......

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 08-09-2008 10:49am

I wanna be sitting astride the thing, waving a cowboy hat in the air and shouting "YEEEE-HAAAWWWW" when they turn it on.

ssshhh! let me have my fantasy.

Turd Ferguson · 08-09-2008 10:53am

Well I have dabbled a bit in the field of Advanced Thermo Nuclear Physics, as a bit of a fun hobby like. But if it does create a black hole it'll be so small that it would just dissolve, sucking less than my Ma at a stag party.

So the universe started with a big bang and ends with a big suck.

Yore Ma's so fat she will plug the Black Hole and save us all.

Didn't the star trek lads used to fly in and out of black holes fairly handy?

I hope that those scientists are paying more attention than me, particularly when they're reading the instruction manual. If it's written by an Ikea man, we're definitely screwed, because even Einstein couldn't have followed one of them. :eek:

120_Minutes · 08-09-2008 11:19am

Within four years, one of these 'celestial vacuums' could have swollen to such a size that it is capable of sucking the Earth inside-out,

wait...2008 + 4 = 2012

those aztecs were right!!!! :eek:

Or it could be made a sticky, then many of us would never bother to read it.

He's also a chemist. So clearly he knows a lot about advanced particle physics.

Apparently the world is going to end in 2012 and Englands Olympic hosting is just a big cover up so they can build a huge nuke or something that will destroy us all....
I believe there are some threads about that here somewhere

That was the Mayans. Also, iirc that theory may be due to a miscalculation/mistranslation.

Or maybe not...

And as another poster said: ffs, we have enough of these threads.

Turd Ferguson · 08-09-2008 11:44am

Ahhhh, we can never have enough threads.

I just think of it as a cosmic hoover.

Anyone up for an end of the world party on booterstown strand tomorrow night? I'll bring the barbeque. The BGRH lads can ransack a pub and bring a hundred kegs of fine beer and some wimmens, and film forum folk can steal a cinema projector and a screen. I've got a copy of darkplace we can watch aswell. :pac:

Goys everyone knows the world ended when house prices starting dropping last year.

It's all about the future now.

KnifeWRENCH · 08-09-2008 2:45pm

FFS, I've a hospital appointment Wednesday. What a boring way to spend my last day on Earth :mad:
Ah well, planet Earth is shite anyway, it deserves to be destroyed.

You'll certainly look like a weirdo then when you have to go back inside because nothing is going to happen.

As soon as I saw a link to the Daily Mail, I facepalmed in my mind.

Loads more news agencies reporting, although it's bollóx tbh.

Not a chance if the Dodgy Pub Practices thread is to be believed. It'll be a mixture of drip tray slops, Tesco own-brand vodka, unsold re-capped bottles and quite possibly sweat that's dripped off some crooked barmen, all sloshed together and funnelled into a keg for returning to Diageo.

Turd Ferguson · 08-09-2008 3:16pm

Here is a better link

Parsley · 08-09-2008 3:21pm

If there was any chance in hell of this happening, I think the worst part would be four years of people saying "I told you so". :pac:
