Speaking of all this - I have one site telling me there's ~32 days left till activation, and another telling me ~2. I don't know which is correct because I can't find the activation date anywhere on the official LHC or CERN sites! Does anyone know?

We should all so get plastered just prior to activation: just in case. We could try to tell everyone else at the bar how the world is ending, but who'd believe a bunch of drunk sci-geeks?

I think they might have trouble even believing the drunk part.

"Some say that the Large Hadron Collider will spell the end of the world. Heres my theory on how this will happen.
The LHC, which actually stands for Large Hardon Collider, will propell two large hardons towards each other at faster-than-light speeds. The result of this is that for a fraction of a second, the balls will touch but time won't have caught up and thus even though the balls are touching, it won't be gay.
The end result of this is a paradox; balls touching whilst not being gay. This will cause the immediate area to go up in a fiery conflagration that will make the Tsar Bomba H-bomb test look like a firecracker!"

So...isn't there some "don't-post-NSFW-pics-without-warning" rule here?
Not that I mind, you know, flying penises or whatever.
So nobody knows when it's going online then?

Actually, I don't think Flare has ever had a NSFW policy. Never needed one, really. Just like we don't have a cuss filter; everyone's mature enough.
Plus, most people that browse Flare at work don't have restrictions on content, I'd wager...

Mm, I agree, I just thought somebody mentioned such a rule at some point.

No.
True. He never predicted how popular Ophra would become, failed on SUV's replacing all other forms of mASS transportation, nor did he get it right about the Cleveland Browns winning the '07 World Series 12 games to 4... Kosar even scored a goal from a 1000' feet... in bunny slippers...
Sorry. I spent a week a sea and i'm really, really confused... LARP Navy, Baby.

I do have rules, but I love top break rules. I'm not supposed to use the computer for anything but work.
(While I am all for editing the heck out of you people, I fear that wiping out sort-of-lame Superbad-era sensibilities would leave more dead than alive.)
I like these photos from National Geographic.

Pfft, no collisions until 'later this fall' see? STILL no firm dates for the destruction of Earth.
