The Large Hadron Collider won't be doing any colliding until next spring due to a magnet failure that allowed a ton of helium to leak out one of the tunnels.

Cern said the most likely cause of the equipment failure was a faulty electrical connection between two of the accelerator's magnets. This connection melted during testing of the machine and caused a huge leak of super-cool helium.

We're saved! There will be a Christmas after all! Just kidding, the robots are coming. Let's just say Thanksgiving won't be so thankful this year.

On a side note, your friend the Geekologie Writer is going through a really tough time right now (divorce). Please don't give up on him, he'll be back to rocking the shit out of shit as soon as possible.

Thanks to Flash, Josh, Daniel, and Dave, who all know the only good collisions happen at the demolition derby.

When the CERN Large Hadron Collider starts crashing particles into shit next month. I can hardly wait!

Hit the jump for a highly questionable (yet informative) video of some chick singing a rap song about the collider.
