Tom Hanks gets to turn it on

Mr. Bond, you know you must meet him for us

or at least be your poley self and see him

Tom Hanks always turns on my large hardon collider

Are we dead yet?

WILLLLSSSOOONN!

I'm curious, if they try to recreate the big bang, could they not actually cause a new one? Kinda sounds more devastating than finicky tiny black holes.

Maybe my chance to become to be Galactus has finally come! WOOT.

I recreated the big bang with your mother last night

Not surprised. The theory states it came from the smallest object in the universe.

fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Beautifully executed.

pwned

They should get one of those giant floor keboards from Big and make him play a combination of notes to start the thing.

this... oh please qod let them read this and make it so

Brilliance.

@ entire thread

i agree, this thread went where i desired

omg

Though I find it weird they say "Forest Gump" as opposed to "Robert Langdon" because that's probably why they got him to do it as opposed to just being a random actor...

Robert Langdon isn't a scientific, he's a professor of religious iconology and symbolism...

...unless you mean the LHC is a symbol of the end of the world.

Oh god.

OH GOD.

well i thought this was appropriate

He was here last week along with some of the film crew from Angels and Demons, think they were filming some of the extras for the DVD in and around CERN. There were a few posters up outside the Globe to do with the film to. A few of us discussed going to try and nab them....never got round to it and they are gone now.

They literally cleared out the whole of the ATLAS control room while they did the interviews...not that we are doing anything at the moment with the LHC being broke and ATLAS undergoing some upgrades.

Still every tom (:P) dick and harry tried to get in there and get their photo taken with him, they only ended up allowing the higher up folks in there, us lowly phd students were mostly kept out

I'll keep an eye out for him around September time when the LHC should get turned on again but it's likely he'll be doing it from the "machine" (LHC) control room, which is a long way from where I'll probably be, in the ATLAS control room. I doubt I even has access for that room...hhmm

{edit} bugger.....

I remember seeing all that as I went past on my bike in the morning...well...mid day (never get into CERN on time) I think I actually saw the moment they took some of the photo's, they are facing the road with their backs to the globe.

Quick! Now is the time to strike! The LHC will be mine!

CHOPSTICKS! DINGDINGDINGDINGDING-LHC powers up

and if they make too many mistakes the LHC gets switched to doomsday mode

speaking of black holes... *sniped*

My best friend called the girl he lost his virginity to black hole.

I love having a Massassian on the inside of the LHC project.

It's just so cool getting first-hand goings-on of the thing.

I tell some people I know about the updates and they're always like "wtf who is this mysterious internet man who tells you this stuff"

What if it turns Tom Hanks into an adult?

rofl alco

Same. The people in my office are equally impressed.

Damn, I kept misreding his name throught the title and thread as "Hom Tanks", until I blinked.

You do realize the thread title doesn't even contain Tom Hanks right?

Hahahaha gold is ****ing stupid

This thread is pure awesome.

he probably meant what you get with a mouse over .. because it gives you the first bit of the post.
But he's still stupid

He didn't say thread title. He was talking about the article title, which does have "Tom Hanks" in it. Admittedly, his sentence structure sucked.
