The Large Hadron Collider, at CERN, will be switched on for its first beam at approximately 0930 CET (0730 GMT, 0830 London time, other times around the globe) and the world will not end.

This is quite historic; it is (as far as I know) the first occasion on which it has been definitively, authoritatively, and scientifically proven that this will not be the case. There's even a risk assessment (PDF link).

So I suggest we endeavour to celebrate it by consuming items topologically identical to the LHC - eg., ring doughnuts, iced ring biscuits, onion rings, bagels, &c. - around that time. Suggestions of other suitable food items are welcome.

Pass it on.

I was sent here by the eversolovely Ellybeans :D

Remember, we have another opportunity to save the universe with tasty bagels when the first actual collisions happen!

I expect every Livejournaller to do his, her, or its duty then.
