Avian Airforce Bread Bombs Large Hadron Collider - Quote from the scene: "Dough!"


Ok, so the giant machine with the giggle inducing name is offline again. Yeah, yeah, it would be news if it wasn't. This time, it was caused by a bird. No, really. A bird apparently dropped some bread onto a piece of equipment on the exterior of the ridiculously large science experiment, causing it to shut down. So, should we feel better or panic that some wayward wheat toast can make this thing shut down so easily? I'm still on the fence about it. Now if it were a coconut that fell on it, I would definitely be concerned, because everyone knows that European Swallows aren't migratory.

The Large Hadron Collider Turns on in November

Sweet! They are going to turn this thing on in a couple months. Get your "sucked into a man-made black hole" insurance policy ready. Blah blah blah, yes, yes, they say its safe, but don't we have better things to drop the kind of coin that has been spent on what is essentially a giant metal doughnut buried under Europe? Personally I think training ninja kittens to repel the zombie and robot uprisings that are coming soon is one way. But that's just me. I am going to laugh if the thing blows another fuse.
