Scientists are using a supercollider to find ... well, they want midichlorians

Charlie.

 

If it takes a female that long, she's being too picky. I mean, uh, I'm pretty dumb!

 

I have standards. Takes me longer than some girls, dammit!

 

Update: tests successful, world still turning, SC still looking through applicants' resumes.

 

World still turning for now...
We might be living in an alternate reality created by the super duper gizmo

 

Updating the end of the world ...

Large helium leak inside the particle accelerator will cost $21 million to fix. End of the world now on indefinite hold at least until they come up with the money, with nothing expected to be finished until at least June.

Next potential end of the world: Dec. 21, 2012 (end of the Mayan calendar).

 

With all that leaking helium, will they be making Alvin and the Chipmunks voices during the patch-up work?

 

New scientific theory: The Large Hadron Collider's various malfunctions in the present are being caused by . . . the Large Hadron Collider's "success" in the future. Somehow. Somewhen.<blockquote>A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.</blockquote>More about this crazy-ass yet perfectly sensible theory here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/science/space/13lhc.html?_r=2

 

Eric Mangini loves this excuse.

Fascinating.

 

They travel back in time to stop this but not to tell Balloon Boy's Dad "Not a good idea, dude"?

People have messed-up priorities in the future.
