        Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!! —Eric Kingsley
     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!! —Larry Pieniazek
     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)

          Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!! —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) 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)

       (...) 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)
     
          Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!! —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) 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)

      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!! —Jeremy Sproat
   (...) (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!! —Lindsay Frederick Braun
      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. (...)

        Re: The Americans are gonna destroy the Earth!! —Jasper Janssen
   (...) 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)
