The LHC broke soon after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown publicly praised it. He’s getting a reputation for being a bit of Jonah.

No matter how good the cause of the organisation to which the debt was owed, I think that if I had someone like Timmy sent after me as repo man, I’d be strongly tempted to withhold payment out of sheer contempt.

I’m a psychic too! I predict that your still haven’t paid for TAM 6 and will come up with some lame excuse for not doing so.

Maybe it was a miniature black hole that caused the leak and blew up the transformer. Has anybody checked on the opposite side of the world for similarly unexplained tiny holes in things?

I’ll bet I can convince some conspiracy theorists that it was a black hole.

Well that could possibly explain my uncanny predictions – the information came to me through a time warp from the black hole.

According to the calculator thingy it will be in the South Pacific Ocean, east of New Zealand and not far from the International Dateline

I don’t know, anybody with a little thought and knowlege about particle accelerators would have made the same kind of predictions. In fact this is the kind of thing you expect at startup, which is why it can take as much as a year for first startup to running actual experiments. From personal experience the demon Murphy work overtime at an accelerator lab helped by a all too well meaning bunch of good people. Burnt transformers, exploding magnets and trashed experiments are all part of the game. But it was fun.

Clearly your ‘predictions’ are just based on your understanding of the difficulties in any really really big project and you’re intuitive logic about what is most likely to go wrong.

The sad thing is that by the standards of most self-proclaimed psychics these predictions would be like striking platinum. If one of those a-holes made such an accurate prediction you’d never hear the end of it and how amazing it was.
