Where can I find out if the collider destroyed the planet?
Is there a website on the status of the world?

I mean we could of been teleported into a parallel universe and not even know it.

or weird pan-dimensional creatures could be sucking out European's brains right now.

I am scared.

11. It did, but we went through the black hole to a paralllel universe where it didn't.
Unfortunately, in this parallel universe everything looks just the same and it's still weeks before the election.

14. Calm down, everything is fine.
Al Gore is still President and our infrastructure is still stable. I just looked outside and traffic is light, with the hovercars moving along smoothly.

I thought it was just the regular Repiglicans sucking out our brains. They look the same.

20. Ah, yes. That "giant sucking sound".
Seems I've heard that before.

Oops, there's that Twilight Zone music again.

18. 1. It Didn't Do Anything Yet That Might Destroy The World
They'll just be doing preliminary checkout for a while.

2. Even if they create the hypothesized micro black holes of doom, we won't know about it for years. But once we know, we'll only have minutes left.

(No, I don't particularly believe that there's a problem...)

23. Use this:

Chances are, if Abe Vigoda is still alive, then our planet is NOT destroyed.

25. If we were sucked into a different dimension, I hope it's not
like the Star Trek one where good and evil are reversed. I would hate to see us now with a "good" Bush and a "diabolical" Obama. :crazy:

26. It was a disaster...

We were sucked into an alternate universe in which everything was replaced with an exact duplicate of itself.

Wonder when they'll change it to "Yes"? Could they be liable when I decide to stop paying my bills because we've been destroyed?

38. Very difficult. We're living on Schrodinger's planet right now.
So right now, we're simultaneously just fine and sucked to a singularity the size of a red blood cell.

We have to wait for an external observer.
