Last week we posted a story involving a lawsuit filed in Hawaii that claims powering up the Large Hadron Collider has the potential to, oh, destroy the earth. In a world where far too many people still believe Barack Obama is a Muslim extremist working for a sleep-cell, there is bound to be a large group of people misinformed about the potential disaster they see coming when scientists flip the switch for the greatest experiment of all time.

In response, CERN has posted a safety guide for the experiment that should calm most fears, though I doubt it will have much impact.
