Has the Large Hadron Collider Destroyed the World Yet?

hopeWhere would science be without the paranoid fears of conspiracy theorists? Probably the same place the internet would be without joke websites.

If you’ve been following the development of the Large Hadron Collider you’re probably aware of those who say the collider is going to open a black hole and swallow the earth, or ravings along those lines.

But the question is, how will you know that the Large Hadron Collider is what destroyed the world as we know it? By using the web of course.

Visit HasTheLargeHadronColliderDestroyedTheWorldYet.com and view the page source. You’ll see this bit of code:


<script type=”text/javascript”>
if (!(typeof worldHasEnded == “undefined”)) {

}
</script>

And this as well:


<!– if the lhc actually destroys the earth & this page isn’t yet updated
please email mike@frantic.org to receive a full refund –>
