Uh Oh... A.K.A. The Truckman Vigil (even if it was a thread hijack!)

It seems that the Earth was destroyed this morning...

I thought there was less traffic than ususal!

International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board
It is our duty to inform you that as of 7:35:05am UTC on September 10, 2008, the Earth has been destroyed.

The destruction of Earth was first reported by Mr Jonathan Barber of Wisconsin, United States, who spotted that his home-made seismic Earth Detector had ceased to give readings at around 8:00am (2am local time). Several other amateur geocide spotters noticed this at the same time but Mr. Barber was the first to place a telephone call to the IEDAB's Geocide Hotline (+44 115 09Ω 4127, ask for Other Dave) at which point IEDAB officials performed an emergency check of their own instrumentation and verified Mr. Barber's report, as well as fixing the exact time of geocide.

Evidence is still being collated, but preliminary results suggest that the Earth was destroyed pre-emptively by scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, before the commencement of their experiments to locate the Higgs Boson, as a precautionary measure to ensure that the experiment itself could not result in the destruction of the Earth.

Just one of 40,000 Hadron Collider jokes that will be winging their way toward you this morning!

i'll let you know after this latest hurricane whether the world has ended here...It's supposed to hit us pretty hard even this far from the coast...I topped off the truck with diesel and got enough food and water for me, my niece and the puppies so we'll just ride it out...Ben

What's wrong with sex, Jon?...Try it sometime (preferably with a willing partner) you may like it...confused...

The fuel pumps won't work while the electricity is off, that's the only reason for filling up...Got 38 gallons of diesel now, that'll do me until it comes back on...I rode out Alicia in '83 in Houston and I don't see this one being any worse although it is considerably bigger...

Don't forget Jon: There ain't no atheists in execution chambers or category 5 storms...idea...Ben

We sometimes lose power because of heavy thunderstorms too, no big deal...The power was off almost a week in Alicia in '83...We survived without resorting to brain-eating...

I get all the target practice I need anyway, coyotes, feral pigs, liberals and non-believers are always in season, no limit...weirdface...Ben

Looks like Ike made a bit of a mess in Ben's State and they've started the cleanup. Let's hope he and his niece and his puppies are okay!

A lot of areas still have no power and some areas were leveled. I couldn't believe what I saw in some pictures. Still sending good thoughts Ben's way...:/

All is well, kids...I feel like I've arrived now that I've had my own vigil thread...biggrin

I got power and internet back today but never did lose water pressure...The niece went to her Dad's house for the duration and the pups wouldn't leave my side for even a second...No real damage for me but my Mom had a tree fall into her roof...No injuries and the the roof is reparable...

Some people got hammered really hard so I'm thankful to God that it was no worse than it was for me...Just a bunch of debris cleanup and helping the neighbors clear downed trees and such...I appreciate the concern, really...Ben
