  The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!

  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
Its the end of the world as we know it!! Now if you surounded yourself in a Lego bomb shelter would the ABS provide any protection? Now that being said and kidding aside, being an American I feel that I am probably in the minority of Americans in (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
Thanks for the link. This whole story (right down to it being set at Brookhaven) sounds eerily similar to an SF story I read where a singularity was formed (complete with an entire universe inside of it) thanks to some very energetic particles. The (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I don't know the name of the author eitehr, but I believe the book was called "Ring of Fire". Great book! (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) Must be more than one, that's not it. I think it is a single word title that is something similar to "Singularity". It has a picture of a sphere on the cover (and no, it is NOT by that hack, Michael Crichton... his last good book was Andromeda (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) Did you read "Jurassic Park", or "Disclosure"? If you want to rant on a hack, how about Stephen King or that Goosebumps fellow RL Stine? -John (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Touché, Paul. (Nice truck, BTW!) But it is still a whole lot better than my old S-10 or a a Geo! Thanks for the correction! Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) Yes and Yes. They sucked. Hackwork and I don't mean that in a nice way. (...) I was ranting on Crichton, not those other hacks, but feel free. (25 years ago, 20-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) (URL) wonder: if the collision of two elementary charged particles generates a huge amount of energy within a tiny space, what would happen if someone just happened to be sitting in the collision chamber at the instant of collision? - Would he (...)

  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
Are the Americans gonna destroy the Earth? Heavens, no. How silly. Now go back to sleep. Want a Big Mac? (...) I don't know. I feel like a strangelet already. (...) Depending on the day, I already do. (...) Heavens, that would make life difficult. (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Hemorrhoids, you silly.. Oh wait.. sitting in it, not on it. Oh, well that's different. (...) Most everything collides with spamcake particles. That's a cheap shot and you know it. (...) No. Actually, huge bouts of sparks and showers of flame. (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) I can't speak to spamcake energy density gradients but I can tell you one thing. The bogon flux density is definitely on the increase around here. See the Hacker's dictionary (a hard copy of which I saw for the first time last week. I knew it (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!!
 
(...) Define "huge". No accelerator is capable of generating even 10e-100 of the energy used in the BB, as far as I can tell. (...) First, they would die of the deep vacuum in said collision chamber. Then, they'd suddenly start feeling warm and (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) By here, you mean .fun? Average bogosity hasn't increased all that much from when I last read it, I think (much, much too long ago..) Jasper (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
