    Ooh, good, they have an RSS feed. That’ll come in handy.

    As a Los Angeles resident, I’m partial to http://www.iscaliforniaonfire.com. But knowing whether or not the world has been swallowed by a black hole is good too. ;-)

    Don’t forget to take a gander at the source code for the site. It’s fantastic.

    This is a valuable service. Thanks for providing me with a link so I can stay “in the know” about the status of Earth’s demise. :)

    @Jon: Thanks for the hint about the source – the stuff about the vacuum is awesome!

    So who’s going to register http://www.hasmydoomsdaysquadignitedtheatmosphereyet.com? If someone doesn’t do it by the weekend, I just might do it…

    I realize that a lot of people are up in arms about this whole “microscopic black holes could destroy the Earth” thing, but am I the only one who thought “if these black holes are that powerful, I’ll be dead before it has too great an impact on my life”?

    I wasn’t too worried – I figured that if it happened, I wouldn’t have to pay the bills or clean the house.

    Now I do. Bummer.

    It looks like they ripped off the design from this site:

    Actually, I beg to differ.

    The International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board has declared that Geocide did occur on September the 10th.

    Letting go might be harder for most people but there will be a seminar held on Pluto in April to help with the grief.

    The Hadron collector didn’t destroy the earth. It was destroyed preemptively in order to ensure that the Hadron collector did not destroy the Earth.

    More like Large HARDON Collider. Am I right?

    Note, for those who haven’t been following closely:
    The LHC is up & running but it hasn’t started creating tiny black holes yet.
    So far it hasn’t done anything that hasn’t been done before at CERN.
    Last I heard, the “interesting” experiments wouldn’t start for a few weeks or months. They’re being a bit coy about when exactly they plan to destroy the Earth.

    Yeah, I told my physics teacher I didn’t do my homework because I figured the Earth wouldn’t be here. It didn’t work. Dammit.

    I’ve been calling it the Hardon collider ever since I accidentally called it that.. about (unverifiable number) months ago.

    “Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the Earth yet?”

    Yes, I think so.

    It sucks cause I took the day off of work to wait for imminent destruction.
