POSSIBLE BAD THINGS
1. It will make several mini black holes that within four years can expand to eat the Earth.
2. It makes strangelets. They will proceed to turn the Earth into grey goo. (Seriously).
3. It will make another big bang, blowing up the earth from the inside.
So. Who's looking forward to Wednesday?

Good God.
I wish that
I had a Philosophy and Ethics class when I was in Middle School. *jealous*
Anyway.
The chances of those Possible Bad Things are actually very, very slim, but I LOVE it when the "caveats" come out, like, "Oh, well, this COULD happen." ha
...
I'm actually pretty much geeking out over the results. Can't wait.

And if it destroys the world...
I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL
