If one could find the obnoxious twerp who was running the show and get him to say his name backwards, three times, Metropolis will be saved!

It would be interesting if the end of the world happened before the US election. I'd like to know how each candidate would spin it in their favor. Laughing

The end of the world will now be delayed: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/09/20/hadron.collider.damage.ap/index.html

Maybe they want to time it precisely in 2012...
