Scientists building the world's largest particle accelerator are being sued in federal court over fears that it could destroy the planet when turned on.The Large Hadron Collider is currently being built at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. It's a 16-mile-long tunnel, buried 300 feet underground, that is designed to accelerate rare particles close to the speed of light and test whether the theoretical building blocks of matter actually exist.
However, two of collider's critics have launched a lawsuit asking for the collider's safety to be reassessed. They claim the machine might create black holes or unleash "exotic" particles.
Luckily, most scientists agree that the chance of anything catastrophic actually happening is close to zero. But we at Asylum can't help but think it might not be worth the risk...it's hard to recover your reputation after trying to destroy the world. Just ask Dr. Evil.

Please consider this super collider thing as a world threat, to do otherwise would be hurtful to the planet and make you into another hater. We don't need haters, we need Hillary!
We must all care what she, Hillary Denise Rodham Clinton thinks and does. It is very important to the whole World that she wins! She will end all suffering and hate. No one, (on the accepted list), will cry or be sick. Hillary will specifically include this in her Democratic Social Welfare, Health & Happiness Program for Correct Thinking Americans.
