I believe that when they switch it on, they (the CERN scientists) are simply flinging protons around in one direction to see how fast they (the protons) go.

After a week or so, they (the CERN scientists) will then fling protons around the OPPOSITE direction.

Only after this orientation exercise will protons be flung around in alternate directions, so as to collide. This might be three or four weeks away.

Therefore, you will be pleased to know that ITLAPD is safe for September 19th....

The rule is: Do not panic until the correct date. Which, of course, is: http://www.survive2012.com/why_2012_maya.php

Thanks for the laugh!

A 27km one is certainly a very large one!
