This is everywhere already, but what the hell...

I have been cheerfully keeping up with the Large Hadron Collider, step by step this morning (it's much more fun than working). So, I am absolutely the man to ask:

Has the LHC destroyed the earth yet?

Two totally disconnected comments:

• shewhomust and I were discussing this with an eminent professor of mathematics and, if I understood him right, he said that if you were inside a black hole you might not notice it for some while. The point being that its intense gravitational field prevents light from getting out, but not from getting in.
• Did you know that you^* can register domain names ending in 'cat'?

^*Well, actually not, as you do not meet the qualifying criteria.

Um, I thought that same intense gravitational field would've kinda squashed you to a point, before you reached the point of wondering where you were...?

And now I need domain names ending in .cat. I have a Teach Yourself Catalan - will that do? (It is the official language of Andorra, so I did learn a little before I went. That of course was twenty-some years ago, and all I remember is that "ampulla" means bottle; is that enough, d'you suppose? Is there a test?)
