I had high hopes that when CERN switched on the LHC in November of this year, they would inadvertently create a black hole, thus increasing the sales of my book, 'The Ancient Order of Moridura' (with a related theme of a nascent singularity created by a meteorite impact in Extremadura).
But then I realised that the extinction of the planet - and probably the solar system - would prevent me from collecting my royalties. Life can be unfair sometimes!
However, doomsday has been postponed until April/May of 2008 because of problems with magnets.
The Higgs boson must be chuckling quietly in interstellar space, its anonymity preserved for a little longer.
