Particle Physics: Not Just For Nerds

No, I’m kidding. It’s just for nerds. In all seriousness though, shouldn’t the good people at CERN be spending their time more constructively? I mean a music career is all well and good, but I’d really be more comfortable if they concentrated more on trying not to create a black hole and destroy the earth and perhaps even the galaxy, and less on side projects like this:

While the rest of the world was stocking up on their doomsday supplies (because when the world gets sucked into a black hole you’d better make sure you’ve got plenty of batteries and bottled water), the folks responsible for our inevitable demise were busy making their very own rap video. It’s a whole new breed of genius.

In all fairness, I’ve seen worse on Australian Idol. And bonus points for being educational. Extra bonus points for not being educational in a so-that’s-what-would-have-happened-if-I-auditioned sort of way. If you offer your unconditional surrender, it actually becomes quite catchy.

Still, isn’t it a little tacky to release a YouTube rap video about your doomsday device?
