A month ago we posted a story about Reddit offering to send a crowbar to the brains behind the Large Hadron Collider project. Many fear that the particle accelerator at Cern could cause the end of the world, and a possible resonance cascade -- along with obligatory Half-Life headcrab infestation, too.
Our very own Dyson claims that the Large Hadron Collider isn't possible of causing any lasting damage to humanity, but his ways are the ways of folly. Those of us who actually play videogames that were released after 1983 know a little something about science, and we're preparing for the reign of The Combine.
Luckily, the Reddit lads who offered the crowbar that would save humanity have now shipped it to CERN, along with a note that reads: "Get this to Gordon Freeman. He'll know what to do." When thanked for their service to humanity, the providers of the crowbar had only this to say:
We’re not heroes. We’re just doing our job.
Classy as Hell, gentlemen. Classy as Hell. Let us pray that the crowbar reaches Dr. Freeman in time to stave off the Xen hordes that this Collider will definitely produce.

Half Life 2: Episode 3 is going to be based in CERN, I guarantee it.
And if anybody bitches about spoilers, you had nine years to play through the game. Get over it.
Or on the other hand it'll just confirm or deny all our theories about physics. I dig it.
"I FELL INTO A BLACK HOLE, BITCH!"
into everyday conversation.
A phrase like that deserves to be used outside of the internet.
"FOR SCIENCE!"
In short, the universe won't end, but it's probably more likely to happen in the minute they turn the LHC on than in the minute before.

Bravo to the boys who sent this crowbar! Here's hoping they use it better than I did.
as I die
I finally know what it means

alive

Created the first man-made black hole.
Of course I could probably just get one from the local home depot so it better come with something special.
