Try, try again

Scientists have belatedly admitted that the Large Hadron Collider malfunctioned shortly after start-up last week. According to Professor Johan Schtroumpf of Geneva, "Our first indication that something was wrong occurred when the world failed to blow up."

Joseph,
Really appreciate your pulling of important news articles for us to read. I especially liked the pictures of Hurricane Ike the other day. Why is this not still page one news? The devastation looks immense.

I did a double take at the name Large Hadron Collider, there's a joke in there somewhere but I leave it to someone else.

Joe - the previous dimension that our persistent memories existed within WAS sucked into a very tiny black hole generated by the collider. My condolences to all.

Everybody's everything phased into the next dimension up the ladder of the infinite simultaneous alternates (like clicking up to the next channel on a very big HDTV).

There are very subtle differences between our lost dimension and our current one. For example our current dimension did not get sucked into a tiny black hole (I think I get a Nobel Prize for this finding, right?)

However I did notice my wristwatch became fast by about 10 seconds very recently. Also, my dog suddenly needs a trip to the groomer and I swear it hasn't been that long.

Aside from those items I haven't noticed much else that this dimensional awareness shift may have caused.

Kitty, the damage from Hurricane Ike is like that of Katrina but on a much smaller scale. One community, Crystal Beach, I think, of 250 homes has only 12 still standing. Galveston and other communities were also badly hit. Traffic lights still out all over Houston, over 700,000 households without power -- still. Milk has been a luxury item. You can get the local view at the local stations, like www.khou.com
