Goddamnit, people, stop fucking talking about the Large Hadron Collider. I'm serious, that shit freaks me out and now that I know they're firing it tonight, I don't want to sleep and I just wanted to be a pundit one day, I don't want to die because scientists are assholes.

I cannot tell you how much this stuff freaks me out.

My experience? Scientists are mostly personal assholes, not professional assholes, you know? Completely lacking social skills, but pretty inundated with science skills.

Ergo, we shouldn't be worried? That is, the scientists working on this "Dooms Day Device" (sorry, had to call it that) know what they're doing but have a hard time assuring us they know what they're doing. Sounds right to me.
