SCIENCE!
In roughly 34 hours from the time I've begun typing this post, something will happen. There is a 1 in 5000 chance that this will result in the destruction of 80% of the galaxy or thereabouts, including, of course, our planet.
That's right, they're going to use the Large Hadron Collider, aka the LHC. It's a physicists dream come true: they're going to "smash protons moving at 99.999999% of the speed of light into each other and so recreate conditions a fraction of a second after the big bang."
So. In the unlikely (but more likely than the planet being struck by an extinction-event-level meteor, apparently) event that we are all destroyed, I just wanted to say that it's been fun. :3
Check out the countdown!
eta: *massive pout* They postponed it.

It has a lot of historical significance, especially for shipping, but the armpit thing became popular when we had a few years of really crap weather.
