Some people panic easily; others require specific, targeted goading. And then there are those who don't tend to panic at all, but enjoy with wicked abandon the sheer, stark terror of those who do panic and then write about it.
Here's a brief timeline of potentially significant events for this portion of the 21st century:
September 11, 2001: A day that will live in infamy.
September 10, 2008: The first full-circuit test of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will take place.
September 11, 2008: The world ends. It would also be a day that would live in infamy, if not for the fact that it would awfully difficult to pull off, what with the world having ceased to exist.
The first date listed needs no particular introduction or explanation.
The second date pertains to an event that this article touches briefly upon.
The third date is an arbitrarily chosen date on which the Vogons will destroy the planet to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. Or something.
It's always the end of the world somewhere.
