2008-09-10 Doomsday

Pittsburgh, PA view map

This week's Totally Informal Thursday Challenge theme was
"almost black & white". My take is this message about an issue
that a few people think is not black and white.
(see more interpretations in the Thursday Challenge thread)


Taking note of today's Large Hadron Collider start-up, some CMU students
painted the Senior Fence to read "It's the end of the world and I feel fine",
"LHC!", and on the other side "Happy end of the world", "<3 black holes",
and "HADRON".


I was torn between this and a more literal interpretation as seen in this picture,
and probably would have used the latter if there had been more of an overcast.

I hear that it'll be up to two months before they get around to ending the world :)

It's just the end of the world and we know it... it's just the end of the world and we know it... it's just the end of the world and we know it... and I feel fine :-)

Nice take on the challenge!

Nice idea.
The LHC is not colliding particles yet, so watch out.
