Description My older son Caleb's teacher was talking to them about that whole physics experiment they're messing with to re-create the Big Bang theory. She was telling them about how there's a miniscule chance it could cause a black hole and suck the earth in. While I'm not one for pulling punches when it comes to the truth, the kids are 9 yrs. old for Christ's sake... Have some tact. I got a kid that's biting his nails all worried and jumping at sounds like a 70 yr. old woman now, thanks.

Anyway, that subject, coupled with the tracks "Sermon" on the Madvillain remixes, and "Eutow" by Autechre (which awesomely reminds me of the music in that game Mass Effect) sort of inspired this photo-manip experiment. Stock image was a random find, I can't remember where it came from. This isn't really anything to be called finished work or anything like that. Just Friday afternoon shits and giggles-type shit.

You can turn your hand to any damned thing.
Awesome, vaguely psycadaelic.

There seems to be a lot of fear and misinformation surrounding the LHC. I mean the black hole they plan to create will be smaller than an atom.

*the sky is falling!*

I know right? But explain that to my kid. A plane flew over the house the other day and I thought he was going to shit himself.

Just tell him that if a black hole does swallow the earth that he won't hear it or anticipate it in any way, so there is nothing to worry about because there's nothing he can do to stop it.

I give the best parenting advice don't I?

Hahahahaha, you know what's funny? I said something almost identical to that.

I was basically like, "Dude, it's like if the sun exploded. You wouldn't realize it's happening until you were vaporized, so don't sweat it."

And let me guess he totally failed to see the faultless logic of it? Kids these days I tell ya!

I just sympathize with him because I remember back at his age, there were a bunch of those doomsday kooks coming out saying the world would end. One of them said it would the day after my birthday one year, and I was absolutely ripshit.

My parents lived through the cold war and I love their stories about the "duck and cover drills."

Ah, gotta love that old-fashioned propagandized terror.

Me I just look forward to the collapse of the "civilized" world.

It's possible... I didn't really lay it out all that large. I could probably get about a 9"x14" at 150dpi, which isn't all that great.

for some reason it reminds me of the opening of the original Heavy Metal.

Dude, I forgot to say that too... I watched that last weekend, and while I was thinking about doing it, that opening scene kept popping into my head.

you hear about the new Heavy Metal that's coming out? It's got a TON of great directors behind the different parts.
