10 Sep 08 - 08:39 AM (#2436094) Subject: RE: BS: Big Bang Day From: Donuel I'm listening to NPR intently as they describe the Hadron collider and then they go to a recorded audio of the countdown that occured 4 hours ago; "5 4 3 2 1 0YAAAAY" then the radio went dead. I switched to Pacifica, no signal, I turned off the car radio and came inside. The battery radio did not get any FM stations below 84. They came back 5 minutes later. damn black holes sucked my signals. |

Followed by "Nothing good will come of this." Read about the implications..in fact, nevermind. It will probably be a waste of your time. |
