Checkin' in on sciency news

I guess this is a good thing. A few good hearted people are suing to stop the Large Hadron Collider! Why? Well, there's this...

But Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sancho contend that scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have played down the chances that the collider could produce, among other horrors, a tiny black hole, which, they say, could eat the Earth. Or it could spit out something called a “strangelet” that would convert our planet to a shrunken dense dead lump of something called “strange matter.”

Apart from that - everything's great!
