And, I'm sure like theirs, it no longer works properly. 
But seriously, this should've been expected, Swiss crap never works. I mean look how many accidents scientists went through when they attempted space travel before they invented a rocket capable of such a feat. Trial & Error.
Hah. I stepped right into that.
I guess that's true, but I still can't help but think we ought to be just a little past that. Trial and Error I mean. But I'll give that to you. 27 miles is a LONG way, besides -- lots of piping and building. I guess we ought to be surprised that the test run they did actually worked, and y'know, didn't incinerate the workers managing the equipment (what a way to go, though!).
The actual collider cost around $400,000 in material to build. It was a million for the land they put it through. The rest was wages for the scientists involved, top minds of the world demand top pay.
I wonder how some of the best brains messed up a calculation that makes them stay on the project another 2 months. Dollar dollar bill yo.
Even though it sounds just a bit outrageous, this makes you wonder, don't it? Hell, I'd do it if I could ((But
I would be far more likely messing things up anyways. Of course I'd also probably be fired on the spot.))
Looks like someone is trying to compensate.
I bet if you had the cash for it, you would buy an extremely large, powerful, penis-shaped vehicle.
Hey man, cars are supposed to be phallic objects anyways. Of course I'd buy one. Are you saying that everyone who has those goddamn gas guzzling hummers have small penises? I think not.
Those people tend to be large
powerful
burly
black men.
EDIT: I'm not gay.
