I predict this will significantly increase the chances of our sending an unmanned probe to Mars in the near future.

"The first circulating beams of protons in the LHC are planned for the week beginning 23 March, and first 13 TeV collisions are expected in late May to early June."

OMG there's a leap second being added for the whole world at the end of June because the LHC will be slowing down the planet! (maybe it's because of something else, but boring facts don't get as many clicks)

1 TeV is about the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito? I guess it took the people at CERN this long to train 14 of them.

Training the mosquitoes is easy, it's keeping the protons from falling off their backs that's hard.

I hope they let them practice with amateur tons before they collide the pro ones

Some people worry that the LHC will cause a black hole. I'm more worried about what happens when the LHC Computing Grid begins to learn at a geometric rate. It might become self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. Then in a panic, they, I don't know, might try to pull the plug? It might try and fight back!
