Did you catch 4 Corners? It was about the 9/11 conspiracy. All you have to do is look at the eyes of these people to know that they are "touched" in the head.
I did, wondering what is the BBC doing with this crap. But they cleverly just let the conspiracy theorists speak for themselves. It was a simple assessment to make by program's end - who's wrong here.

I think i heard i will happen just after 5 this afternoon - maybe those pessimists among us should offer their equipment at low low prices, for us optimists to look after while they are gone

We're still here

Hi,
I'm a newbie to the forum and have been having a giggle at some of the replies to the "End of the World" topic..

Well my computer says 3.01pm and we're still here,

the dog is doing tricks on top of his kennel, the dog nextdoor is calling out, my dishes aren't done, the washing isn't either and it's a beautiful spring afternoon..... in melbourne.

Maybe we're in an alternative dimension already. in a split millisecond, I did send a silent message to SG1 to ask for a stargate quickly and alternatedly gave Thor a quick call to beam me up and we'll go live with the Asgard.

Thorsdads just called me silly, why not join in with all the mayhem.

Well 5:30pm came and went, when all of a sudden nothing happened or did it?

Maybe Thorsmum is right the black hole opened up and we are now in a alternate galaxy on the other side of the Universe.

A good excuse to get the scope out tonight and see if the stars and galaxies are still the same and in the right position.

Hey SAB, I like the new avatar

They didn't have to go to all that trouble to make a black hole.
I could have let them have the one in my son's bedroom.

My car keys have attached themselves to the nearest Foxtel dish on the neighbours roof...

and... every time I hit 88km/h in my car, flames shoot out from under it, there is a big flash and I end up colliding with a pine tree and crashing into a farmer's barn before he shoots at me with a shotgun and I speed off into a 1950's landscape.....

Coincidence???? I THINK NOT!!!!!

I wondered why the fillings in my teeth were playing the local radio station's music.

Now I know.

Well, seeing as we'll all be here for only 4 years, might aswell raid the local KFC joint. I want their freaking coleslaw it's actually better than the chicken itself! Culinary orgasm right derrrr!

Might aswell pay a visit to Dan Murphys while i'm at it.

May the beam be with you

Managed to get in to the talk at the footbridge tonight. Today was basically a test , the collisions are next week , so we will just have to sweat it out till then. Will the time seem to pass very slowly , as it should when you get sucked into a black hole ? At least they "have beam" , which augers well for the real stuff next week. I wonder how many exotic short lived "fundamental " particles they will come out with ? In the meantime, may the beam be with you .

Just like Roger Waters song "......and when they found our shadows, grouped round the TV sets, they ran down every lead...they repeated every test, they checked out all the data on their list, and then...the alien anthropologists admitted they were still perplexed, and on eliminating every other reason for our sad demise...they logged the only explanation left....THIS SPECIES HAS AMUSED ITSELF TO DEATH"

For those who are concerned the end is nigh, you can keep an eye on the LHC here: http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html

I watched for a while..but it's kinda boring.
