Redditor sends a red crowbar to CERN in case of headcrab emergency (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13121/Redditor+sends+a+red+crowbar+to+CERN+in+case+of+he adcrab+emergency/)

Scientists near Geneva are weeks away from switching on the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator that promises to change our understanding of the universe forever. A Reddit user, however, has considered the far reaching implications of this device, and fears that a real-life resonance cascade, as seen in the events of Half-Life, could occur, leading to Headcrab incidents the world over.
Upon learning that the Cern lab would be recreating the ill-fated Black Mesa project, Mad_Gouki thought it’d be prudent to send them a red crowbar for the pending alien invasion. Chris knows a few fellow physicists working at the lab, so we’ll do our best to get this in the right hands. Let’s hope they have someone there named Gordon Freeman who knows what to do with it…
After all the debate, discussion and dissent regarding the Large Hadron Collider and/or the end of the world, this dude from Reddit came up with the most viable solution. Why scrap a multibillion dollar research project because of dimensional-ripping, zombie-birthing fears? All you really need is a crowbar and someone to wield it properly. In my book, that's the only way you can really <em>prepare</em> for unforeseen consequences."
