Even Gordon Freeman Can't Fix this!

Official investigations estimate the cost to repair the Large Hadron Collider to be in the neighborhood of $14m.

After one ton of helium gas was released accidentally, damaging the electromagnets, there have been calls for an early warning alarm to be put in place. The official investigation showed that an electrical fault in one of the superconductors allowed the release. Better gas pressure valves have been designated as a priority.

This isn't the first problem to hit the LHC, perhaps the world's greatest generator of 'Day Of Reckoning' forecasts from the more 'eccentric' areas of the internet.

Even before the official 'launch' day, there was a short glitch in the system that was solved by just turning it off and on again.

Even the great scientists are split over what will happen, with Dr. Stephen Hawking and Professor Higgs almost coming to blows.

Official estimates are that the LHC will be out of action until June 2009 at the earliest, but the possibility of a resonance cascade scenario is still pretty unlikely quote>

Well, I'm sure everyone is just about sick of this thing by now, but a bit of interesting news about every now and then never hurts.

 It would be fun to see Stephen Hawking in a fight though...

Aw man. I stopped paying my bills and used up all the money and savings I had on doing stuff I've always wanted to do, because I thought the world would end, but now it won't end until june or even later? By then I'll be in jail.

BTW; is that a teddy bear on top of the pipe in that pic? Is that guy going after a teddy bear with a crowbar?

A wonderful adornment.
