I would support using LHC to shoot proton streams at pigeons. Enough of them crapping on our possessions. Let's see how they like getting crapped on by protons moving at 99% C.

Your speed is off. It is actually 99.9999991% of C.

Hey! My protons! My pigeons! My velocity!

When it's your turn on the LHC Pigeon Shooter, you can shoot at 99.9999991% C. I like my pigeons to be protonically pierced at 99% C.
:D

I fully expect the LHC to be about as Earth shattering as Y2K.........

For most people, right now, yes. For theoretical and particle physics, no.

Google for "Large Hardon Collider," and don't say I didn't warn you.

Why not just give helicopters cancer?
(That comic is linked in the OP, hence the mention here about shooting pigeons with proton streams. ;))

What, with all the cries of fear changing from "we're all going to die!!" to "we're all dead and living within the split-second of our imagination!".

Less so, because non crackpots were concerned about Y2K.

People who are worried about the LHC are closer to the Maya 2012 bozos.

LHC might be a joke, but it really all does end in 2012 though........:p
