me: i went to get some cereal and realized i had forgotten to put my clothes for work in the wash
whammywah: haha
me: so i was downstairs putting the stuff in the washing machine and a cricket jumped on the back of my neck and freaked me out
me: i don’t know where it came from, haha
whammywah: i did my laundry tonight
whammywah: oh man
whammywah: that’s the cricket that was keeping you up the other night
whammywah: he was like “HOW DARE YOU MAKE A TWEET ABOUT ME, ATTACK”
me: there’s a ton of them in the basement
me: bahahhahahahhaha
whammywah: chuckles
me: he’s probably trying to get vengeance for his brother or something
whammywah: haha
=====
me: oh snap 1 hour until that thing might turn on
me: i’ll be doing my laundry
me: and a black hole will appear
me: and i’ll be all “fuck, i forgot about that, guess there wasn’t any point in doing my laundry”
whammywah: hahaha
whammywah: well if the world ends
whammywah: might as well do it now
whammywah: before i have to go to work tomorrow
me: at least i’ll have clean pants
me: for the end of the world
whammywah: don’t make me suffer through the end of the world during or after a shitty day of work
whammywah: do it now
whammywah: clean pants are crucial
=====
me: lol, somebody tried to sabotage the large hadron collider
me: by sticking two beer bottles in the pipe that the beam was supposed to go around in
me: oh, wait, it was the predecessor to the LHC
me: “While working on the LHC’s predecessor, a machine called the Large-Electron Positron Collider, engineers found two beer bottles wedged into the beam pipe – a deliberate, one-off act of sabotage. The culprits – who were drinking a particular brand which advertising once claimed would “refresh the parts other beers cannot reach” – were never found.”
whammywah: hahahaa
whammywah: now that would be the end of the world
whammywah: “well the big bang would have worked, but this bottle of natty boh opened up a gate to hell”
me: hahahaha
point of reference for the subject line of this post. only about 2 hours to go before it’s switched on! of course, the world won’t come to an end because they’re only going to send one beam around when it’s switched on, and they’re not going to be doing any colliding at this point. no, that of course won’t happen until thursday, since arthur dent could never get the hang of thursdays.
i’ve been getting interested in particle and theoretical physics after listening to the feynman lectures at work the other day, even before i knew they’d be firing up the LHC. it’s interesting stuff!
