Only 2 more weeks to go till they start firing it up for real.

Nah. Heaps of time.

They only test the system on Sept 10.

The real end of the world is Oct 21 2008.

Which is about 3 days after the most likely snap election date in NZ.

Meh.

I've been using hidiously expensive machinery to collide shit at high velocities for fookin' yonks and the world's still spinning.

*wobbles a bit is all...*

Hope they invite all the leading politicians,religious leaders etc to the test & sit them in the middle of it so if it goes"black" we solve at least one problem...

An excellent article on the project.

It will never fly, and as others have noted, its pretty obvious they got some of the wires round the wrong way

But if per chance it works I want one for my Harley

If it's the end of the world, I want the last cheque I write to bounce.

If there is a button it is meant to be pushed!

Has worked for me, without major incidents, so far...

And the ladies don't mind either

Can't see why anyone would be anxious about it. After all we need to see what happens. And if we blow everything to smithereens then that's probably meant to happen anyway
