Chris Morris visits the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and writes about it for the Guardian. Some crackpots believe the LHC will form a black hole which will devour us all. Perhaps it will instead open a doorway to another dimension, ushering in unspeakable horrors and leaving Tom Jane to lament: “I just want my kid back!”

Really, there are worse ways for the species to go than to all be sucked up into a massively massive ball.

The Guardian asks a silly question: Is The Dark Knight the greatest movie of all time? Well past 100,000 votes now, the film remains atop the IMDB Top 250 list, as judged by the site’s users and moderated by an algorithm the site keeps secret. It’s a good list, typically free from temporary whims and new releases. Obviously it failed in this instance though and I wouldn’t be surprised if the algorithm were adjusted accordingly. The Guardian is wrong, however, to suggest that it was ever “the greatest movie chart of all time”.
