I loved Brian Cox in "Rob Roy" and his Hannibal Lecktor was very subtly portrayed and a lot scarier than the later one by Anthony Hopkins.

Any black hole we create in a laboratory will be so small that it evaporates in nanoseconds.

don't even get me started, dude. Adaptation? handpicked by McKee to play himself?

absolutely! unless we're wrong, of course.

in which case, we'd never even realize it anyway. much better than if we had been equally wrong about the first nuclear detonation, and torching a hole in our atmosphere.
so, yeah. i'll take that bet. light 'em up.

I know they pay attention to not creating any forces or situations which exceed those that have ever naturally existed.

second that on the haircut. My instincts are to say this fella is a cutie.. but I keep wondering.. cheek implants?

In any case, why is everyone so worried about this collider experiment?
