They’ve put up a Quicktime VR panorama of the new Large Hadron Collider that they’re building at CERN. For those who don’t know, the LHC is going to be the largest particle accelerator ever built and will harness energies more powerful than anything we’ve ever created. Scientists aren’t even sure what they will find when they turn it on. Some are hoping for proof of string theory and others are hoping to find the graviton, an elusive, theoretical particle of gravity.
Just look at this beast. Why do I get the feeling that as soon as they flip the switch, Annihilus is going to step through this thing to punish us all for our puny human ambition?
This is a picture of the LHC that I have never seen. I remain unconvinced that this monstrosity it not a terrible risk to the fate of the earth. I am utterly opposed to turning the switch ON.

I’m with you, Don. Annihilus is fucked-up. I’d rather face Galactus then that bug-faced cock knocker. At least Galactus isn’t a fucking Nihilist! They should at least get Reed Richards to look at that thing before they turn it on.
