LHC shut down by bread dropped from a bird

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2009-11/bread-loving-bird-shuts-down-lhc

Must be one of those robotic birds controlled by remote from the future.

 

this is getting ridiculous.

 

I'm pretty much on board with the time-traveling particles theory at this point. No one has luck that bad.

 

So the time-traveling particles brought a bird carrying bread through time with it?

 

Maybe just the piece of bread was sent though time. I wonder if it was made into toast in the process, because that would be the coolest way to make toast I can think of.

 

That would be awesome! I could send the bread back in time and have a sandwich this morning for breakfast.

 

Someone at the Slashdot comments for this story joked that the LHC failures are proof of Quantum Immortality (Wikipedia)

The idea is that if the LHC will destroy the Earth when switched on, then from our point of view we will always be in a branch of the multiverse where it doesn't switch on. So some weird event will always happen to stop it from running.

 

^^

Next will be a funny looking beagle with a big-black nose dressed in the garb of a World War I Flying Ace crashing a DOG house into the LHC. Then I'll believe it.

 

Clearly God doesn't want this machine ever to operate, in case it crates a black hole.

 

anyone heard of the satan's stargate tinfoil head theory

you have now

How do they know it was a bird that dropped the bread. Did someone actually see it? And if someone did see it drop the bread, then why did they leave it there until it caused damage. THE BIRD IS A LIE!

 

You know what, I've actually watched quite a number of Gorilla199s youtube videos a few months ago and although some of them are idiotic and he's pretty dumb on several subjects some of his videos are quite thought provoking and interesting.

 

Actually the bird is dead. It was killed then brought indoors and deposited in the front room as a "present" by Schrödinger's cat.

I hate that darn cat.

 

I just had a shocking thought. What if the collider keeps getting postponed and strangely gets up and running perfectly again in 3 years!

 

It's not dead, it's just pining for the fjords.

 

Nostradamus: 9-44

Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
RAYPOZ will exterminate all who oppose him,
Before the coming the sky will show signs.
--------------------------------------------
Migrés, migrés de Genefue trestous,
Saturne d'or en fer se changera,
Le contre RAYPOZ exterminera tous,
Auant l'aruent le Ciel signes fera.

Is the Hadron collider going to be disastrous?

 

Interestingly, if the LHC was redesigned to smash particles the size of peanuts for use in the tropical drinks business, come 2012 could we all be drinking "Peanut Colliders"?

[pause]

[longer pause]

"Pining for the FJOOORDS"?! What kind of talk is that?

Look, I took the liberty of examining this bird, and the only reason it dropped bread on that LHC was that it was nailed there.

I'm more concerned about this "RAYPOZ" dude.

I find it interesting that the word "RAYPOZ" is bookended with the letters Z and R...

 

It used Barack Obama's time machine.

 

The worst part is you never know if he actually brought the bird in or not until you actually go and observe it. It's bloody annoying.

 

And by observing the bird, you end up changing its result. Damn cat.
