DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DUMB!

The new Large Hadron Collider goes online this week, and the scientists are getting death threats from the nose-pickin' crowd:

Frank Wilczek, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has received death threats, said Prof Brian Cox of Manchester University to The Telegraph, saying in as frank a manner as possible: "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat."

The head of PR James Gillies, the public's contact for info on the £4.5 billion machine, apparently is inundated with people fearing for their lives.

Probably the same group of people who think the Republicans have a hurricane steering device...

(Dammit, Churt! Stop tinkering with the Weathermaster! You're gonna make that hurricane miss New Orleans.)
