The Real Reason the Large Hadron Collider is Broken
We reveal the real reason the LHC has broken down.
This unexclusive photo provide photograhic evidence of the role played by none other than Half Life’s Gordon Freeman.

Breaking News: Large Hadron Collider causes split in the ANC
It has come to my attention that the political events unfolding before our very eyes are the work of a counterrevolutionary 3rd force.
The large hadron collider, having been switched on not a month ago, seems to have created a counterrevolution, running counter to our revolution. A collision between our own zunami and this 3rd force has created a blackhole in the fabric of political unity and caused a split in the ANC.
On a more serious note, no-one seems to have noticed that the LHC broke down shortly after being fired up for the first time. So, the giant contraption that cost something like R70 billion to build, breaks down because of shoddy workmanship?
And we are supposed to trust these guys when they say, “Don’t worry. These black holes are nothing to worry about. We’re confident they won’t swallow up all the matter and destroy the world.”
Anyway, it’s broken for now so I guess that means the world won’t end this month.
Unless of course the blackhole that is the split in the ANC swallows up the entire political landscape, destroying democracy and all the cute little idealist fallacies that go along with it.

LHC – Large Hadron Cartoons
Simply because the Large Hadron Collider is so very large, and also because it may cause the world to cease to exist, and because it may provide the answer to the question of everything (I half-expect it to spit out 42), and because I feel guilty about not posting on this blog often enough, I’ve decided to give the LHC a second post.

Geek Rap II – The Large Hadron Hip Hop Collider
One of my first posts was the SEO rap video – finally a worthy follow-up emerges:
The Large Hadron Collider Rap is suprisingly rich on phact – highly hedjukashinal.
The geek-rap phenomenon gathers pace…
While on the subject of the machine designed to cause 800 000 000 collisions per second at 99.99999999991% the speed of light (so it’s a bit like the local minibus taxi industry except with fewer passengers), I can’t help but feel that the doomsday paranoia is somewhat premature. They’ve only just switched the thing on.
The first collisions will only happen somewhere around the 21st October – PANIC postponed until further notice.
