Test Run Of CERN's Large Hadron Collider Swallows Up Swiss Village

Scientists working in Switzerland have admitted that a test run of The Large Hadron Collider, housed next to Lake Geneva at the headquarters of Cern resulted in the total annihilation of a Swiss village a few miles from the site.

"We did a small test run - using just 10% of the power - it all went well, or so we thought, until one of our scientists returned home to his village close by - the whole place just disappeared - it was swallowed up by a black hole!" said one scientist.

The small village of Greten, with a population of 200 has indeed been wiped of the map - scientists say that they are sorry and regret the loss of life.

Many, especially in the US, say it is still worth the risk to turn the thing on using its full potential.

The LHC, as it is known, will be plugged in in September - whether you like it or not.
