Kaya Naman Pala...

Now I know why we're all still here.

Transformer Breaks On World's Largest Atom Smasher.

A 30-ton transformer that cools the world's largest particle collider malfunctioned, forcing physicists to stop using the atom smasher just a day after launching it to great fanfare, the European Organization for Nuclear Research said Thursday.

How many times have you prepared for a long trip, arrived early for your ride, only to have the car/bus/boat/plane/train break down due to mechanical problems? If you're like me, many times.

How many times have you sat yourself down, ready to watch a big show or the big game, and then something goes wrong with the TV, or the program signal, or the power goes out, or the pipelines burst and you have to get a bucket and bail out all the water (okay, maybe not that last one--famous last words, I know).

So the world was saved by faulty parts. Hooray for poor quality control! :)

Just kidding. ;-P
