Okay, people we can forget about Peak Oil, Global Warming, Nuclear War, etc., because we're not going to live long enough to see any of those things. Two men have filed a federal lawsuit to prevent the activation of the $8 billion Large Hadron Collider (pictured). Don't you want to know why:

They think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole or something else that will spell the end of the Earth — and maybe the universe.

Damn, looks like the pennant races are going to get cut short this year.
